Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i3-12100F comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-12100F beats the Ryzen 5 4500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4500U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i3-12100F has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i3-12100F has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-12100F has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-12100F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 5 4500U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
