Ryzen 5 4600U vs Core i7-7800X benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7800X is faster than the Ryzen 5 4600U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i7-7800X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4600U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7800X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
