AMD Ryzen 5 4500U vs Intel Core i7-8850H

Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i7-8850H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4500U beats the Core i7-8850H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8850H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-8850H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8850H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-8850H. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U.

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.
