Ryzen 5 3600X vs Ryzen 5 4500U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3600X is faster than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4500U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3600X has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. The Ryzen 5 4500U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3600X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 3600X also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
