Ryzen 7 2700 vs Core i5-10400 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 2700 is faster than the Core i5-10400. Despite this, the Core i5-10400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 2700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-10400 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10400. Despite this, the Core i5-10400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 7 2700 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10400. The Ryzen 7 2700 also has slightly more L3 cache.
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 2700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
