Ryzen 5 4600U vs Core i7-8850H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4600U is faster than the Core i7-8850H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8850H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600U. A Ryzen 5 4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8850H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-8850H. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H 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.
