Ryzen 5 3400G vs Core i9-12900KF comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-12900KF 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.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-12900KF has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3400G that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3400G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900KF. Despite this, the Core i9-12900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3400G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-12900KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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.
