Ryzen 5 3550H vs Core i5-9400 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9400 performs better than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3550H in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-9400 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads than the Core i5-9400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the Core i5-9400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3550H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9400 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 3550H has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9400. Despite this, the Core i5-9400 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H.
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 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
