Ryzen 5 1400 vs Core i7-4710HQ comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 1400 performs better than the Core i7-4710HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4710HQ 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 1400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4710HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4710HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4710HQ outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1400 thanks to a slightly 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.
