AMD Ryzen 5 4500U vs Intel Core i7-6700HQ

Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-6700HQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4500U is faster than the Core i7-6700HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700HQ 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 i7-6700HQ. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-6700HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-6700HQ has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6700HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6700HQ 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.
