Ryzen 5 4600H vs Core i9-8950HK comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4600H is faster than the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 4600H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-8950HK. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4600H.

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.
