Ryzen 5 2400G vs Core i7-4790S comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 2400G is faster than the Core i7-4790S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4790S in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4790S. Despite this, the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
