Ryzen 3 2200U vs Core i5-6400 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6400 performs better than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2200U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6400 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 Core i5-6400 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
