Intel Core i5-11400F vs AMD Ryzen 5 4500

Core i5-11400F vs Ryzen 5 4500 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11400F performs better than the Ryzen 5 4500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4500 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400F. Despite this, the Core i5-11400F has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-11400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
