In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4500 beats the Ryzen 5 2600X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2600X in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 5 4500 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2600X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 4500 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 2600X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 2600X 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 2600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
