Ryzen 5 4500U vs Ryzen 7 1700X comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 1700X is faster than the Ryzen 5 4500U. 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 Ryzen 7 1700X has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700X has 8 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 Ryzen 7 1700X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4500U. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 1700X 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 7 1700X has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. The Ryzen 7 1700X also has significantly more 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.
