Ryzen 5 4600H vs Core i7-1255U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4600H beats the Core i7-1255U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1255U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1255U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 4600H that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 4600H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1255U. The Core i7-1255U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 4600H thanks to a 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 Core i7-1255U has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 4600H. The Core i7-1255U 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
