Ryzen 5 3400G vs Ryzen 5 3600 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3600 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 3600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3400G that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3400G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3600. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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 3600 has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3400G. The Ryzen 5 3600 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 3400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
