Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-8650U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4500U performs better than the Core i7-8650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8650U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-8650U has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-8650U 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 i7-8650U. 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 i7-8650U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
