Ryzen 5 2400G vs Core i7-6700 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6700 performs better than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2400G in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 2400G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 2400G.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
