In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800X has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4600G. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4600G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4600G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5800X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4600G. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4600G CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800X 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 5800X has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 4600G. The Ryzen 7 5800X 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
