Ryzen 5 4600G vs Core i7-10870H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4600G performs better than the Core i7-10870H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10870H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-10870H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 4600G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4600G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10870H. Despite this, the Core i7-10870H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-10870H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 4600G thanks to a 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 i7-10870H. Despite this, the Core i7-10870H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4600G.

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