Ryzen 5 5500U vs Core i5-4670 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5500U performs better than the Core i5-4670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4670 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5500U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-4670 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4670. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4670 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5500U. A Ryzen 5 5500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 5500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
