Ryzen 5 2500U vs Pentium G4600 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G4600 performs better than the Ryzen 5 2500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2500U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 2500U has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium G4600 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4600. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4600 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 2500U. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 2500U has more L2 cache than the Pentium G4600. The Ryzen 5 2500U also has slightly 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 2500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
