AMD Ryzen 5 4500U vs Intel Core i5-1245U

Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i5-1245U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1245U 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 Core i5-1245U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1245U. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-1245U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 4500U. The Core i5-1245U 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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 4500U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
