Ryzen 5 3600XT vs Core i5-10400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3600XT is faster than the Core i5-10400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10400 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3600XT has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10400. Also, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-10400 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3600XT thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-10400. The Ryzen 5 3600XT 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 3600XT has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
