Core i7-9700T vs Ryzen 5 4500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4500 beats the Core i7-9700T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9700T has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4500. Indeed, the Core i7-9700T has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4500 has more threads than the Core i7-9700T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700T. Despite this, the Core i7-9700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700T 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.

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. For instance, the Core i7-9700T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
