Core i5-4570 vs Ryzen 5 5500 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5500 is faster than the Core i5-4570. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4570 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-4570 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4570. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4570. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500 outputs less heat than Core i5-4570 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-4570 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
