Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U vs Core i5-1235U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U performs better than the Core i5-1235U. Despite this, the Core i5-1235U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1235U has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U. Indeed, the Core i5-1235U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. 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 5 PRO 4650U has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-1235U. Despite this, the Core i5-1235U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
