Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i5-9400 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600H beats the Core i5-9400 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9400 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 5600H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5600H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9400. The Ryzen 5 5600H 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
