Ryzen 5 3400G vs Core i5-9300HF comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9300HF is faster than the Ryzen 5 3400G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3400G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3400G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300HF. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3400G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9300HF. Despite this, the Core i5-9300HF has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3400G.

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 3400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
