Core i5-9400T vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9400T is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9400T has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Indeed, the Core i5-9400T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has more threads than the Core i5-9400T. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400T. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U 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 PRO 2500U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9400T. Despite this, the Core i5-9400T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-9400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
