Ryzen 5 2400G vs Core i7-7700 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7700 beats the Ryzen 5 2400G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2400G in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Ryzen 5 2400G and Core i7-7700 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-7700 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2400G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-7700. Despite this, the Core i7-7700 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.
