Ryzen 7 5800U vs Core i5-9400F specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800U is faster than the Core i5-9400F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9400F in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800U has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-9400F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9400F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9400F has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9400F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 5800U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9400F. The Ryzen 7 5800U also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
