Intel Core i5-14400F vs AMD Ryzen 5 7600: specs comparison

Intel Core i5-14400F came out in 2024 (Raptor Lake Refresh, Intel 7), AMD Ryzen 5 7600 in 2023 (Zen 4, TSMC 5 nm). Cores and threads: 10/16 on i5-14400F vs 6/12 on Ryzen 5 7600. Max clock: 4.7 GHz vs 5.1 GHz. L3 cache: 20 MB vs 32 MB. i5-14400F uses the LGA1700 socket, Ryzen 5 7600 uses AM5: they need different motherboards. Clocks from different vendors are not directly comparable, so those rows are not highlighted.

In short. The table below is built from the official spec sheets. Green marks the best value in a row. This is not a benchmark: check tests in the games and apps you use.

How to use it

  1. Compare cores and threads — they matter most for video editing, 3D and multitasking.
  2. For gaming, clock speed and L3 cache matter more — especially on AMD X3D chips.
  3. Check the socket and supported memory: will the CPU fit your board.
  4. To add a third processor, press “Change models or add a third”.
