Which are the best CPUs?

Intel Core i5-9400F vs. AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

Intel has been having some trouble as of late which has made it even harder to compete with the incoming wave of Ryzen processors. That has forced the chip maker to be a little more creative and make do with their current product lines. Today we have the Intel Core i5-9400F on hand, which in itself isn’t anything new. It’s basically a refreshed Core i5-8400 with a 100 MHz clock speed boost. We say basically because it’s not a straight refresh however, there’s another change.

The Intel UHD Graphics 630 have been disabled and therefore the 9400F has no form of integrated graphics — just like the Ryzen 5 2600X. This is meant to make the 9400F cheaper than the Core i5-8400, even though Intel’s list pricing doesn’t make this apparent, in practice the Core i5-9400F can be had for $175 while the i5-8400 is still $215, making the newer chip about 20% cheaper. It also means it’s cheaper than the Ryzen 5 2600X which is currently retailing for $190.

So which should you buy? Let’s get that out of the way. Before this comparison review we updated our Best CPU feature and we said you should go with the Ryzen 5 2600X as it comes with a better stock cooler, can be overclocked, and the AM4 platform offers a significantly better upgrade path.

We stand by that assessment, but that won’t escape us from running a few up to date benchmarks. We’ll focus on gaming performance which should make life a little easier for Intel’s CPU. For application performance you can refer back to our day-one coverage of the Ryzen 5 2600X where the i5-8400 was included. You can safely bet the 2.5% factory overclock isn’t going to make the 9400F any more than about 1-2% faster than those figures.

We’ll also take a closer look at operating temperatures of the i5-9400F using the box cooler towards the end of the article as somewhat of a mini-review. The main event though is an 18 game benchmark using the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at 1080p, 1440p and 4K. The 4K results should typically simulate GPU bound gaming using a lower end GPU at a lower resolution.

There are two test configurations for each CPU. The Core i5-9400F was tested with the standard Intel box cooler for both configurations on the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master. The base configuration uses 16GB of DDR4-2666 CL15 memory as this is what you’ll be limited to on any motherboard not using a Z370 or Z390 chipset. Then we have an overclocked DDR4-3400 configuration.

The Ryzen 5 2600X has been tested on the Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 7 WiFi with the standard box cooler for the base test with 16GB of DDR4-3400 CL15 memory. Then the second configuration is overclocked to 4.2 GHz with tight memory sub-timings and the Corsair Hydro Series h215i. All benchmark data was gathered fresh for this review.

Benchmarks

Starting things off we have Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and here we see at 1080p, for maximum frame rates, the 9400F was 13% faster than the 2600X when comparing base configurations. Overclocking the 2600X pushed it ahead of the base 9400F for the 1% low figure but then pairing the Intel processor with faster memory was enough to get it back on par and ahead for the average frame rate.

Similar margins were seen at 1440p and then quite interestingly at 4K the 2600X was a fraction faster, or quite a bit faster when overclocked with finely tuned memory timings. You’d expect the result here to be identical, as we are, or at least should be 100% GPU limited, but that wasn’t the case.

Moving on we have Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. I wasn’t expecting the Ryzen 5 processor to do particularly well here, so the results were surprising. The faster memory didn’t help the 9400F while the overclock boosted the 2600X’s average frame rate by 9%. Moving to 1440p we are GPU limited and much the same is seen at 4K.

The Core i5-9400F was a little more punchy in Fortnite but overall the margins were insignificant, the fastest configurations were separated by 4% at 1080p. Naturally that margin was reduced further at 1440p and then at 4K we had a stalemate.

The 9400F was also a whisker faster in Apex Legends, nothing really worth getting too excited about though, essentially we’re looking at the exact same experience using either CPU.

If you’re for some reason seeking big frame rates in Resident Evil 2 then it seems like the Ryzen 5 2600X is the CPU to get, at least over the Core i5-9400F. At 1080p in its base configuration the 2600X was 8% faster and then 6% faster when tweaked for maximum performance.

That said these margins were effectively eliminated at 1440p and 4K, so for the vast majority of you these CPUs will deliver the exact same experience in this title.

Here is another example where the 9400F was faster by a small margin. When testing with Just Cause 4 the Intel CPU was up to 8% faster when comparing similar configurations, that said the 1% low results were much the same.

Hitman 2 is a horrible title for AMD and while the 1% low performance was competitive the average frame rate slipped quite a bit. This title is really bizarre when it comes to the relationship between the CPU and GPU, though I’d say we are mostly CPU bound at 1080p and 1440p.

Project Cars 2 is another title that is not so friendly to AMD’s hardware but overall the result isn’t that bad for the Ryzen 5 2600X. We’re CPU limited at the 1080p and 1440p resolutions, while things mostly come together at 4K.

The Core i5-9400F pulls slightly ahead at 1080p in Rainbow Six Siege for the average frame rate, but the 1% low figures are all very similar. There is very little difference between these two CPUs at 1080p and then basically no difference at 1440p and 4K.

The Battlefield V results are interesting. .. For repeatability and accuracy we are using the single player campaign. We’ve done multiplayer testing in the past but it’s a little difficult to gather accurate data. It’s also been several patches since our testing and many have addressed performance. The single player portion of the game mimics the slight issue we saw with the 9400F in multiplayer…

The experience with the 9400F for the most part was very good, but whereas the 2600X was silky smooth at all times, the 6-core Intel CPU suffered odd frame stuttering here and there. At 4K the 9400F with DDR4-2666 memory suffered big drops in performance though this was somewhat corrected with faster memory.

World of Tanks has been updated to support Ryzen CPUs optimally and we see the 2600X doing quite well. With over 100 fps at all times performance was very good and close to that mark even at 4K.

Performance in Metro Exodus was competitive and there was no distinguishing between the two processors. This isn’t the most CPU demanding game out there but it was good to see the 2600X matching the 9400F in this modern title.

Far Cry New Dawn is quite sensitive to memory latency and turning up the Ryzen processor really helped here. The base configuration wasn’t terrible but we did see up to a 15% performance boost from tweaking the memory and overclocking the cores. Even at 4K the 2600X struggled to get the most out of the RTX 2080 Ti without those tweaks.

Both CPUs delivered similar performance in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and with DDR4-3400 both were able to max out the RTX 2080 Ti at 1440p. Then at 4K we were entirely GPU bound.

Using DDR4-2666 memory the 9400F was a little jittery in Monster Hunter: World, though that was solved with the faster DDR4-3400 memory. The 2600X had no such issue, though it was only tested with 3400 memory as this CPU has no memory limitations on any of the mainstream B and X series chipsets. Once we increased the resolution to 1440p the RTX 2080 Ti became the bottleneck.

Strange Brigade isn’t CPU intensive at all but it is very well optimized and allows us to test using the Vulkan API. Overall both CPUs performed well getting the most out of the RTX 2080 Ti at each resolution.

Despite putting on a good show in Battlefield V, the Ryzen 5 2600X isn’t as nimble in Star Wars Battlefront II despite both games using the Frostbite game engine. The 2600X trails the 9400F even at 1440p, though once tuned up the margins are minimal.

Last up we have The Division 2 and these are some very interesting results to finish on. Using DDR4-2666 memory the Core i5-9400F maxed out at 120 fps on average with a 1% low of 86 fps. Then the faster DDR4-3400 memory boosted the average frame rate by almost 20% which is quite significantly.

This title appears to be very memory sensitive and we saw no issues with the 2600X which was only tested with faster memory. By the time we hit 1440p we are GPU limited with the RTX 2080 Ti and the same is also seen at 4K.

Closing Remarks

When it comes to gaming it’s fair to say there’s no wrong option here and the Ryzen 5 2600X and Core i5-9400F are evenly matched. The 9400F is at times faster thanks to better game support and lower latencies, but the 2600X is often able to ensure smoother frame rates thanks to its support for twice as many threads.

With the advantage of faster DDR4-3400 memory, remember the 2600X isn’t artificially limited, it was able to match the Core i5-9400F using DDR4-2666 memory, a memory speed the Intel CPU is limited to on all but the Z-series motherboards.

Unleashing the 9400F with DDR4-3400 memory did offer a 5% performance bump on average while the 1% low was improved by 6%. The 2600X basically saw the same gains when overclocked. Those margins are reduced for both processors at 1440p, and then at 4K we’re GPU limited to the point where you don’t see more than a frame or two difference.

For general computing the Ryzen 5 2600X can take advantage of multi-threading capabilities and will be considerably faster than the 9400F on heavy application workloads. Remember the 9400F is only marginally faster than the 8400, so you can safely use the older model as a measuring stick. For rendering and encoding workloads the 2600X is anywhere from 30 to 50% faster.

For those wondering about operating temperatures, using the box coolers both CPUs run at a little over 70 degrees with an ambient room temperature of 21 degrees. However where AMD’s Wraith Spire is whisper quiet in our Blender stress test, the Intel box cooler sounds like a jet engine when paired with the 9400F. Therefore, you’ll want to spend at least another $25 on a decent cooler to make the thing bearable.

If you’re mostly playing games on your PC, you will be happy buying either processor. Both proved to be solid options and are evenly matched with a slight advantage to the Intel chip if you don’t tune up the Ryzen processor. The base performance we showed for the i5-9400F can be achieved with $90 memory, while the 2600X will require $110 — $120 memory in order to enable the frame rates shown here. It’s not a big cost difference and right now with anything less than an RTX 2070 or Vega 64 you’ll more than likely become GPU limited.

Looking at those 1% low results, the 2600X was arguably more consistent, but for the most part you wouldn’t know which processor you were using. There can be exceptions to this such as older games. StarCraft II, for example, plays much better on Intel processors.

Moving beyond games, it’s an easy win for the 2600X. The Ryzen upgrade path on B350, B450, X370 and X470 motherboards, all support upcoming Zen 2 processors. So if you buy a nice B450 board now with the 2600X, you’ll be able to slap a Ryzen 3000 processor on there later in the year, or whenever you deem it necessary.

On that note, at this point we suggest holding off on any CPU purchase until the Ryzen 3000 series arrives, it’s just around the corner.

Hello, dear readers of the site Uspei.com. After the release of the video about the optimal PC of spring, there were many questions why I took the Intel core i5-9400F instead of the Ryzen 5 2600, which cost about the same at the time of this photo. To dot the “and” I decided to compare these two processors for you.

Similarities: Both models have 6 processing cores, similar frequency characteristics, 65-watt thermal package, and, in general, are positioned as mid-range processors. This is where the similarities end.

Differences: Ryzen 5 2600 has twice as many threads, more cache, unlocked multiplier and solder instead of gum.

It would seem that the choice is obvious. But not everything is so clear. It’s one thing to compare processors by numbers in tables, another thing — in tests. What are we going to do. But before that, a few words about the test hardware.

To index ↑

Comparison conditions

For 9400F I used MSI Z370 PC PRO motherboard and, no, the processor will not run faster on this chipset than on others, but there are no simpler options at hand it turned out.

For the R5 2600 I used my MSI X370 XPOWER GAMING Titanium , it has great overclocking potential, and Ryzen must be driven, right?

Cooling tower Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition and CBO NZXT Kraken X52 . Other components for both systems are the same. 16 GB of RAM Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB running at 3200 MHz. It may be more, but more on that another time.

Further drives: SSD format M.2 Kingston UV500 240 GB for the system and external SSD HyperX Savage EXO 480 GB USB 3.1 Type-C for games. So far, this is the most convenient option when you need to run the same games on different hardware.

And most importantly — a powerful video card so that the processors do not run into the graphics subsystem. RTX 2080 Ti The factory overclocked 3-fan Inno3D would be just right.

Synthetic tests

So, let’s start with synthetics. In Cinebench R15 Intel core i5-9400F scored 915 points. While the Ryzen 5 2600 in stock earned 1170 points, and overclocked at 4.1 GHz as much as 1256.

The V-Ray i5-9400F managed the benchmark in 2 minutes and 21 seconds. And R5 2600 for 1:53 and 1:44 in stock and overclocking, respectively.

But it’s synthetic. In Blender 2.79 the test scene rendered in 8:40 on the Core chip and in 6:33 and 6:07 on Ryzen with and without overclocking, respectively.

So in workloads where multithreading is needed, Ryzen also pulls ahead. But here it is worth noting that now few people calculate the graphics only with the help of the processor.

Premiere Pro 2019 rendered a five-minute video in H.264 without GPU assistance in 3:30 on Core and 3:33 on Ryzen.

Acceleration saved another two seconds, but in general, only here i5-9The 400F showed a similar result to the R5 2600, despite the fact that Adobe products have always worked better on Intel processors.

Tests on games

This could be the end. But these are not quite the tasks for which the optimal gaming PC is assembled. So let’s move on to games.

There is an age-old dispute about what graphics settings to test processors with. On the one hand, it is better to load the video card less, on the other hand, no one will actually use the RTX 2080 Ti with minimal settings. So I chose the golden mean — average level of graphics.

And then the i5-9400F turned out to be surprisingly faster. Moreover, the 2600 lagged behind both in stock and overclocking. I could not resist and decided to test the same thing, but already on ultra. The difference is even more in favor of Intel. Overclocking does not help.

Pay attention to the workload of the video card, none of the processors loads it to the maximum.

Another game from Ubisoft, but on a different engine — Assassin’s Creed Odyssey . Here it’s the other way around. Even in stock, the Ryzen looks better than the i5. Approximately the same difference in FPS with graphics settings on ultra.

Next Metro Exodus . Again, the Intel system produces more frames. Moreover, the overclocked 2600 shows the result at the drain level, and sometimes even a little less.

I tried to run all the tests several times to make sure the result was repeatable. At ultra, the gap only increases.

Both processors use all the cores, while the overall load on the 2600 is significantly lower. Part of the capacity is idle, waiting for something to be parallelized on them. As a result, the video card is also less loaded.

Further city battles with a lot of objects — a good test for processors. The Division 2, medium graphics settings. The system with Ryzen performs better.

But on ultra, Intel is already a little faster, although 1-3 frames from 120 can be attributed to an error. But at least Ryzen isn’t taking the lead.

Actually, after this game, I decided to record tests on ultra settings for all games. Since it turned out that the result can change in the opposite direction.

Watch dogs 2 easily loads most processors to capacity, especially if you drive into the city center. So the i5-9400F was no exception, it copes worse with this game than the R5 2600.400F shows more frames. Write your opinion in the comments why this is so.

Another game with a big city — GTA 5 . It turned out to be not so demanding on processor resources. Therefore, there is a slight advantage on the side of Intel.

To the table of contents ↑

Conclusion

Let’s summarize. For work tasks, Ryzen looks preferable due to the number of threads. But in games, it often turns out the other way around. You see the big picture on the screen.

At the same time, the i5-9400F turns out to be cooler and more economical in practice, does not need an expensive overclocker motherboard, serious cooling, and is not so critical to fast RAM.

Therefore, if you consider not only the cost of the processor, the system on the i5-9400F can be more profitable. Which is why it made it to Optimal PC (Spring 2019). In general, both options are good in their own way. But I’m sure you have your own arguments, so welcome to the comments. Write what you think is best!

The speed of caches and working with RAM is also important.

Speed ​​in office use

Core i5-9400F

72.8 (+6.5%)

Ryzen 5 2600

68.1

Performance in everyday work, such as browsers and office programs.

The performance of 1 core has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications use only one, ignoring the rest.

Similarly, many professional applications such as various CADs ignore multi-threaded performance.

Speed ​​in heavy applications

Core i5-9400F

45.4

Ryzen 5 2600

46.1 (+1.5%) maximum

The performance of all cores and their number have the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications willingly use all the cores and increase the speed accordingly.

At the same time, some periods of work can be demanding on the performance of one or two cores, for example, applying filters in the editor.

Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems with and without overclocking. Thus, you see the average values ​​corresponding to the processor.

Speed ​​of numerical operations

Simple household tasks

Core i5-9400F 69.8 (+9.5%) Ryzen 5 2600 63.2

Demanding games and tasks

Core i5-9400F 48.2 (+0.4%) Ryzen 5 2600 48

Extreme

Core i5-9400F 11. 7 Ryzen 5 2600 16.3 (+28.2%)

Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with few fast cores and low memory latency will be fine for the vast majority of games, but will be inferior to a system with a lot of slow cores in a rendering scenario.

We believe that a minimum of 4/4 (4 physical cores and 4 threads) processor is suitable for a budget gaming PC. At the same time, some games can load it at 100%, slow down and freeze, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a drop in FPS.

Ideally, the budget shopper should aim for a minimum of 4/8 and 6/6. A gamer with a big budget can choose between 6/12, 8/8 and 8/16. Processors with 10 and 12 cores can perform well in games with high frequency and fast memory, but are overkill for such tasks. Also, buying for the future is a dubious undertaking, since in a few years many slow cores may not provide sufficient gaming performance.

When choosing a processor for your work, consider how many cores your programs use. For example, photo and video editors can use 1-2 cores when working with filtering, and rendering or converting in the same editors already uses all threads.

Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems both with overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum). A typical result is shown in the middle, the more filled in the color bar, the better the average result among all tested systems.

Benchmarks

Benchmarks were run on stock hardware, that is, without overclocking and with factory settings. Therefore, on overclocked systems, the points can noticeably differ upwards. Also, small performance changes may be due to the BIOS version.

Ryzen 5 2600

• Ryzen 5 2600 has a higher level 2 cache. Data/instructions that need to be processed can be loaded from fast L2 and the CPU doesn’t have to wait for very slow DDR 9 RAM0035
• Ryzen 5 2600 has higher L3 cache. This is useful when you have significant multi-processor workloads, many computational processes at the same time. Rather on a server rather than a personal computer for interactive workloads.
• Ryzen 5 2600 has more themes. Large programs are divided into threads (small sections) so that the processor can execute them simultaneously to speed up execution.
• In some games, a processor with a higher clock speed, or with the technical name IPC (Instructions per clock), performs better than other processors with more cores and a lower core frequency.
• Ryzen 5 2600 The Ryzen 5 2600 has a smaller process size. The faster a transistor can turn on and off, the faster it can work. And transistors that turn on and off with less power are more efficient, reducing the operating power or «dynamic power» required by the processor.

i5-9400F

• The i5-9400F has a higher turbo clock. Turbo Boost is a processor feature that will run at a processor clock speed faster than its base clock speed if certain conditions are present. This will allow older software that runs on fewer cores to run better on newer hardware. Since games are also software, they are also applicable.
