Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i5-10400 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10400 is faster than the Ryzen 3 5300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5300U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-10400 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 5300U. Indeed, the Core i5-10400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 5300U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 5300U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-10400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 5300U. Also, the Core i5-10400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-10400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10400. Despite this, the Core i5-10400 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
