Ryzen 5 2400G vs Ryzen 5 2600X benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 2600X 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 2600X has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 2400G that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Both the Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 5 2600X have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2600X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2400G CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 2600X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 2600X has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 2400G. The Ryzen 5 2600X also has significantly more 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 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
