Ryzen 5 4600U vs Ryzen 5 5600 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600 is faster than the Ryzen 5 4600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4600U 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 Ryzen 5 5600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600U. A Ryzen 5 4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 5600 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
