Core i5-9500T vs Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U beats the Core i5-9500T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-9500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9500T has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U. Indeed, the Core i5-9500T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U has more threads than the Core i5-9500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9500T. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U outputs less heat than Core i5-9500T thanks to a significantly 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 i5-9500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
