Ryzen 3 3200U vs Core i5-6400 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6400 performs better than the Ryzen 3 3200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3200U 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 3200U 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 3200U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3200U 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-6400 also has significantly more L3 cache.
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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
