Core i5-11500 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G beats the Core i5-11500 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-11500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11500. Despite this, the Core i5-11500 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.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-11500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
