Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-10870H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10870H 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10870H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Indeed, the Core i7-10870H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4500U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10870H. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-10870H 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 i7-10870H. Despite this, the Core i7-10870H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Ryzen 5 4500U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
