Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i5-12500 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12500 performs better than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4500U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-12500 has more threads. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
