Ryzen 5 2500U vs Core i5-4460T comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 2500U beats the Core i5-4460T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 2500U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 2500U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4460T. Also, the Ryzen 5 2500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4460T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 Ryzen 5 2500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
