Ryzen 5 5500U vs Core i5-8400T comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5500U performs better than the Core i5-8400T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8400T in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 5500U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400T. A Ryzen 5 5500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8400T CPU because of its 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 5500U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8400T. Despite this, the Core i5-8400T has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 5500U.
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 5500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
