Ryzen 5 1400 vs Core i5-8350U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 1400 performs better than the Core i5-8350U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8350U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8350U. Despite this, the Core i5-8350U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-8350U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1400 thanks to a 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 5 1400 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8350U. The Ryzen 5 1400 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 5 1400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
