Ryzen 5 4500U vs Ryzen 5 4600U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4600U 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 4600U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 4500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600U. 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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.
