Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G

  • CPU is newer: launch date 3 year(s) 2 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 2 more cores, run more applications at once: 4 vs 2
  • Around 75% higher clock speed: 4.2 GHz vs 2.4 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 12 nm vs 28 nm
  • Around 50% more L1 cache; more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • Around 95% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 2330 vs 1195
  • 7x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 9250 vs 1329
