Ryzen 5 1400 vs Core i7-4850HQ specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 1400 beats the Core i7-4850HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4850HQ 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 Ryzen 5 1400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4850HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4850HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4850HQ 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.
