Ryzen 5 1600 vs Ryzen 5 4600H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4600H beats the Ryzen 5 1600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 1600 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600H. The Ryzen 5 4600H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 5 1600 also has significantly more 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 Ryzen 5 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
