Core i5-4460 vs Ryzen 7 9800X3D specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D performs better than the Core i5-4460. 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 9800X3D has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4460. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D 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 Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4460. Also, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4460 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU because of its much lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-4460. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-4460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
