AMD Ryzen 5 1400 vs Intel Core i7-2600K

Ryzen 5 1400 vs Core i7-2600K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1400 is faster than the Core i7-2600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2600K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-2600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. Also, the Core i7-2600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 1400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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