Core i7-4600U vs Ryzen 5 7530U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7530U performs better than the Core i7-4600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4600U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 7530U has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-4600U has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4600U. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4600U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 7530U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7530U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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. Indeed, the Core i7-4600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
