Core i5-4460 vs Ryzen 7 5825U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5825U beats the Core i5-4460 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5825U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4460. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5825U has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-4460. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4460. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4460 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5825U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5825U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 5825U outputs less heat than Core i5-4460 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5825U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-4460. The Ryzen 7 5825U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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