Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-1185G7 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4500U performs better than the Core i7-1185G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1185G7 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 i7-1185G7. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-1185G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1185G7 has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. 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.

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.
