Ryzen 5 4600U vs Core i7-6850K specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6850K performs better than the Ryzen 5 4600U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6850K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4600U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4600U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6850K 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 i7-6850K. Despite this, the Core i7-6850K 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.
