Ryzen 7 1800X vs Core i5-11400F comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11400F performs better than the Ryzen 7 1800X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1800X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 1800X has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11400F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11400F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400F. The Core i5-11400F outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 7 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
