Ryzen 5 4600U vs Ryzen 5 5600U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600U beats the Ryzen 5 4600U in overall performance. 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 5600U also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
