Ryzen 5 2600 vs Ryzen 5 3400G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 2600 performs better than the Ryzen 5 3400G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3400G in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 2600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 3400G has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3400G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 2600. Also, the Ryzen 5 3400G 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 2600 has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3400G. The Ryzen 5 2600 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 2600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
