Ryzen 5 3400G vs Core i7-6700T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3400G performs better than the Core i7-6700T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700T 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 slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700T. Also, the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-6700T outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3400G thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 3400G has more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700T. Despite this, the Core i7-6700T 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.
