Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-7820X benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-7820X performs better than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4500U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-7820X has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7820X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7820X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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.
