Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i5-6200U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4500U performs better than the Core i5-6200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6200U 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 i5-6200U. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-6200U. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6200U. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 5 4500U and Core i5-6200U are identical in this regard. 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 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.
