Ryzen 7 3750H vs Core i5-8400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8400 beats the Ryzen 7 3750H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3750H in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-8400 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 7 3750H has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 3750H has more threads than the Core i5-8400. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 3750H. A Ryzen 7 3750H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8400 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 7 3750H has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8400. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 3750H.

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 7 3750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
