Core i7-10870H vs Ryzen 5 4500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4500 beats the Core i7-10870H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10870H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10870H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4500. Indeed, the Core i7-10870H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 4500 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10870H. Despite this, the Core i7-10870H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10870H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 4500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 4500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10870H. Despite this, the Core i7-10870H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4500.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-10870H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
