Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-8550U specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4500U is faster than the Core i7-8550U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8550U 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 i7-8550U. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-8550U. Despite this, the Core i7-8550U has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 4500U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8550U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8550U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.
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.
