Ryzen 5 2400G vs Core i3-4160 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 2400G is faster than the Core i3-4160. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4160 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 2400G has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-4160 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4160. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 2400G and Core i3-4160 have the same clock speed. The Core i3-4160 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 2400G 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 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
