Ryzen 5 4600U vs Core i7-10700 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10700 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10700 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4600U. Indeed, the Core i7-10700 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4600U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4600U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-10700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600U. A Ryzen 5 4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-10700 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 5 4600U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-10700. Despite this, the Core i7-10700 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4600U.

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.
