Ryzen 5 4600U vs Core i5-11500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11500 beats the Ryzen 5 4600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4600U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-11500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4600U. A Ryzen 5 4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-11500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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