Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i5-8400T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 4700U performs better than the Core i5-8400T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8400T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-8400T has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8400T. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 4700U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8400T. Also, the Ryzen 7 4700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8400T 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 4700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8400T. Despite this, the Core i5-8400T has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
