Ryzen 5 4600H vs Ryzen 7 1700X specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 1700X performs better than the Ryzen 5 4600H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4600H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 1700X has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4600H. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4600H. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4600H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600H. A Ryzen 5 4600H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 1700X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700X has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 4600H. The Ryzen 7 1700X 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.
