Core i7-6700 vs Ryzen 5 4500 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4500 performs better than the Core i7-6700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 4500 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6700. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-6700. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6700. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6700. Also, the Ryzen 5 4500 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 4500 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.
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 i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
