Core i5-4460 vs Ryzen 5 7520U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7520U beats the Core i5-4460 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4460 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 7520U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4460 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 7520U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7520U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-4460. Despite this, the Core i5-4460 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U.

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. For instance, the Core i5-4460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
