Ryzen 5 8400F vs Ryzen 5 5500X3D comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 8400F beats the Ryzen 5 5500X3D in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500X3D 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 Ryzen 5 8400F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. Also, the Ryzen 5 8400F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 8400F CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500X3D 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 8400F has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 8400F.
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 8400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
