Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-8665U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4500U performs better than the Core i7-8665U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8665U 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 i7-8665U has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-8665U has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 4500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8665U. Despite this, the Core i7-8665U has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 5 4500U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
