Ryzen 3 1200 vs Ryzen 5 2400G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 2400G is faster than the Ryzen 3 1200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1200 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 2400G has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 1200. Also, the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 3 1200 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
