Ryzen 5 4600G vs FX-8320 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4600G performs better than the FX-8320. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8320 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 4600G has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the FX-8320 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the FX-8320. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 4600G has a slightly higher clock speed than the FX-8320. A Ryzen 5 4600G CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8320 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the FX-8320 has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 4600G. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
