Intel Core i5 8400 Vs AMD Ryzen 5 8400F - Is It Even Close?

The only similarities between the i5 8400 and the Ryzen 5 8400F are the names, and the core count. That said, I couldn't resist seeing how these two compare...

When Zen 5 releases, we need an i9-9900X vs an R9-9900X

Just watched your last vid and saw your reply to the comment 😭 didn’t expect you to actually do it 😭😭😭

Respect for doing this video based on a comment.

Reminds me of the "Meme Machine" I made:
Ryzen 5 5500
Radeon RX 5500XT-8GB
B550 Motherboard
5TB HDD Storage
500GB M.2 SSD Storage
32GB DDR4 3200

Anyone else have ideas for "Meme Machines" ?

Lmao I was hoping you would do this comparison because of the model number ❤

[mordekai_wilde]

And both videos are exactly 8:08 long. Bob.

Or drums.

Anyways, you're a real one for doing this. Love it

Interesting note : the i5 8400 pulls around 45W max in your tests where the Ryzen 5 8400F exceeds 70W in some instances. Their respective perf/watt is actually fairly close

[morzemus]

So, 9th generation Intel and Ryzen 9000 series face-off soon?

Reminds of my 2nd PC. i7-6700K & RX 6700 XT.

PCIE 4.0 x 8 is actually equal to PCIE 3.0 x 16 in terms of bandwidth!

Love the videos❤

[CamperCroftTecnoTips]

i never expect anyone to do this but you :V love you man

[LftyOne]

nice vid! Pls do a budget 1080p vs integrated video with a Ryzen 8700G or 8600G or something like that vs the RX 580 8GB

With regards to rebar.

Many 8th and 9th gen boards have had bios updates to enable rebar.

I've worked on Asrock and Asus boards with bios options to enable it.

I still remember late August of 2017 summer morning having a coffee and reading about "the brand new Intel 8th Gen Coffee lake cpu series" article. It was mind blowing to see 2 extra cores on the new gen i5. It feels like yesterday.

Thanks for putting Kingdom Come Deliverance in here!

I use an 8500 in my personal rig which is an old HP so I got it really cheap it's a solid CPU for most things but newer stuff does start to struggle same as the 8400. Thing to note is that the 8400 only supports a max speed of 2666MHz DDR4 so although you can use 3200MHz memory it will clock down the the max supported 2666 here. Fun video tho.

To be honest, I didn't expect anyone to make this kind of comparison 😂, curious to see a battle between Ryzen 9 7900x vs i9 7900x or Ryzen 9900x vs I9 9900k (or even the X variant)😂

[geron]

I searched specifically for this and this man did not disappoint

i5-8400 and i5-8500 are currently budget GOAT on ebay in old OEM systems. Under 100 bucks for a full system with ram/ssd. Old SFF and a 3050 LP, or a mid tower and RX6600 and you've got a competent gaming rig for barely any money.

i currently have i5 8400, and im thinking of finally upgrading. it has served well, but at this point its already 7 years old, and its starting to show.
