Ryzen 5 5600G vs Core i5-4460 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600G performs better than the Core i5-4460. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5600G has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-4460 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4460. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4460. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4460 CPU because of its slightly 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 5600G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-4460. The Ryzen 5 5600G 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 5600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
