Ryzen 5 4600H vs Ryzen 7 1700 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 1700 beats the Ryzen 5 4600H in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4600H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 1700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 4600H has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4600H. Both the Ryzen 5 4600H and Ryzen 7 1700 have the same clock speed. A Ryzen 5 4600H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 1700 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 1700 has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 4600H. The Ryzen 7 1700 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 4600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
