Ryzen 5 4600H vs Core i7-5960X comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-5960X is faster than the Ryzen 5 4600H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4600H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-5960X has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4600H. Indeed, the Core i7-5960X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4600H. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4600H. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 4600H and Core i7-5960X have the same clock speed. A Ryzen 5 4600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-5960X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
