Ryzen 5 1400 vs Core i7-2700K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 1400 performs better than the Core i7-2700K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2700K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-2700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. Also, the Core i7-2700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 1400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
