Ryzen 3 3350U vs Core i5-8400 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8400 beats the Ryzen 3 3350U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3350U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-8400 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3350U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 3350U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-8400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3350U. A Ryzen 3 3350U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3350U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8400. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 3350U.

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 3350U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
