Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i5-12400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12400 is faster than the Ryzen 5 5600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-12400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600U. Also, the Core i5-12400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 5600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
