Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i5-7500 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4500U performs better than the Core i5-7500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7500 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 i5-7500. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7500. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7500 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-7500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-7500. The Ryzen 5 4500U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
