Ryzen 5 4600U vs Ryzen 7 4700U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 4700U beats the Ryzen 5 4600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4600U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 4600U has 6 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4600U has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 4600U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U. 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 4600U. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
