Ryzen 5 1400 vs FX-6300 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1400 is faster than the FX-6300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-6300 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 1400 has slightly more cores with 4 cores whereas the FX-6300 has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the FX-6300. Our comparison shows that the FX-6300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. In terms of cache, the FX-6300 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
