Core i5-11500H vs Ryzen 5 4500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11500H beats the Ryzen 5 4500 in overall performance. 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11500H. Despite this, the Core i5-11500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11500H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 4500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-11500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
