Ryzen 5 3500X vs Core i5-7400 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3500X is faster than the Core i5-7400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7400 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-7400 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7400. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7400. Also, the Ryzen 5 3500X has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7400. The Ryzen 5 3500X also has significantly more L3 cache.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
