Ryzen 7 2700U vs Core i5-4670K specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4670K performs better than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 7 2700U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4670K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 2700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-4670K. Despite this, the Core i5-4670K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U.

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 7 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
