Which is which?

[Jhunxkie]

Hi! Good day everyone,

I am going to ask, in your own experience about ryzen 5-2600 and intel i5-9400f?

What are the pros and cons of those two?

Ryzen 5 2600: more threads!

i5 9400F: more single core performance for your vidya games.

 

Depending on your use case (gaming (at what resolution and frequency), video editing, 3D modeling, photo editing, VM's, etc.) it might depend which is better.

For the majority of the circumstances I would go for the Ryzen for the more all-rounded performance and for most people; not that different gaming performance.

(Depending on the game, the i5 9400F gets beaten often. I would go for the 2600, or 3600 if its not a large price difference).

 

TL;DR: your resident AMD fan says: go Ryzen!

id say it really comes down to your own personal prefferance

The Ryzen 5 2600 is definitely the better deal out of the two, even though the 9400f is not bad either

2600 is for workstation and game too.

9400f clearly is mid range workstation since it has no HT. but the extra boost 4.1Ghz will increase gaming performance sigiificantly rather than 2600. since the difference was around 800-900mhz. also since it has no HT, its actually run cooler ( Based on opinoin on LTT

community).

 

check benchmark on youtube. if the difference wasnt big. then go for 2600. double the thread

What? That's false though, and even if it wasn't power efficiency between intel and amd is really different since a 24 thread amd processor is much more power efficient than intel's 16 thread processor

ryzen 5 2600 is on an more future proof platform with upgrade options. later you may have to swap that intel board where you could just bios update and swap with a newer am4 chip

I mean i'm not absolutely sure but i'm pretty confident that they run at pretty much the same temperatures, i have an i5 9400f myself and it's thermals with an hyper tx3 aren't exceptional, my friend with a 2700 with the stock cooler gets similar temperatures

6 threads isn't enough. Avoid i5-9400

[Jhunxkie]

Thank you everyone now i should stick to ryzen i watch videos on youtube and only a slight difference between those two. Hihi
