Ryzen 5 4600G vs Core i5-11600K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11600K beats the Ryzen 5 4600G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4600G in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600G. Also, the Core i5-11600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4600G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-11600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-11600K. Despite this, the Core i5-11600K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4600G.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
