Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core 2 Duo E6550 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4500U is faster than the Core 2 Duo E6550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E6550 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more cores than the Core 2 Duo E6550. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core 2 Duo E6550. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E6550. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Duo E6550 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E6550 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 Core 2 Duo E6550 has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 4500U

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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 4500U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
