Ryzen 7 2700U vs Core i5-8400H comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8400H beats the Ryzen 7 2700U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700U 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 i5-8400H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U. Also, the Core i5-8400H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8400H 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 7 2700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8400H. Despite this, the Core i5-8400H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U.
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 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
