Ryzen 5 4500U vs Ryzen 5 5500 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5500 performs better than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4500U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 5500 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 5500 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
