Ryzen 3 3300X vs Core i5-9400F benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 3300X is faster than the Core i5-9400F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9400F in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9400F has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3300X. Indeed, the Core i5-9400F has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3300X. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3300X has more threads than the Core i5-9400F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400F. Also, the Ryzen 3 3300X 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3300X has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9400F. The Ryzen 3 3300X 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 3300X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
