Core i5-3550 vs Ryzen 5 4500 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4500 performs better than the Core i5-3550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3550 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 4500 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-3550. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-3550. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3550. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3550. Also, the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 4500 outputs less heat than Core i5-3550 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. 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. For instance, the Core i5-3550 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
