Core i5-9400T vs Ryzen 5 7430U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7430U beats the Core i5-9400T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9400T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 7430U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7430U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400T. Also, the Ryzen 5 7430U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7430U outputs less heat than Core i5-9400T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 7430U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9400T. The Ryzen 5 7430U also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-9400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
