Ryzen 3 3300U vs Core i5-7400 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3300U beats the Core i5-7400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-7400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7400 has a much higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3300U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 3 3300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-7400 CPU because of its 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 3 3300U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7400. Despite this, the Core i5-7400 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 3300U.

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 Ryzen 3 3300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
