Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i9-12900KF benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-12900KF beats the Ryzen 5 4500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4500U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-12900KF has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Indeed, the Core i9-12900KF has 16 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4500U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-12900KF has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-12900KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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.
