Ryzen 5 4600U vs Core i5-10210U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4600U is faster than the Core i5-10210U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10210U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 4600U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-10210U. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-10210U. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10210U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 4600U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10210U. 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 4600U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-10210U. The Ryzen 5 4600U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 4600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
