Ryzen 5 2400G vs Ryzen 5 3500X specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3500X is faster than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2400G in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 2400G has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2400G has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500X. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 5 3500X are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500X 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 3500X has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 2400G. The Ryzen 5 3500X 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.
