Ryzen Threadripper 1950X vs Ryzen 5 8400F benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X beats the Ryzen 5 8400F in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8400F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 8400F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8400F. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 8400F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X. Also, the Ryzen 5 8400F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8400F outputs less heat than Ryzen Threadripper 1950X thanks to a 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 Threadripper 1950X has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 8400F. The Ryzen Threadripper 1950X also has significantly 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 Threadripper 1950X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
