AMD Ryzen 5 4500U vs Intel Core i5-9300HF

Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i5-9300HF comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4500U beats the Core i5-9300HF in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-9300HF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-9300HF. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-9300HF. Despite this, the Core i5-9300HF has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9300HF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. Also, the Core i5-9300HF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9300HF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9300HF. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
