Ryzen 5 3500U vs Core i5-6400 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3500U is faster than the Core i5-6400. Despite this, the Core i5-6400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-6400. Despite this, the Core i5-6400 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
