Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-8705G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8705G performs better than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-8705G has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-8705G has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8705G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 4500U has more L2 cache than the Core i7-8705G. 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.
