Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-2600K specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4500U beats the Core i7-2600K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2600K in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-2600K that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-2600K has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-2600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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.
