Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i5-4690 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600H beats the Core i5-4690 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4690 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5600H has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-4690 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4690. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5600H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4690 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 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
