Ryzen 5 4600H vs Core i7-8700K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8700K 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.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-8700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600H. A Ryzen 5 4600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8700K 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 Ryzen 5 4600H has more L2 cache than the Core i7-8700K. Despite this, the Core i7-8700K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4600H.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
