Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i9-10980HK comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4500U performs better than the Core i9-10980HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10980HK in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i9-10980HK has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-10980HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-10980HK 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 i9-10980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-10980HK has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U.

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.
