Ryzen 7 4700G vs Core i5-11500 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11500 performs better than the Ryzen 7 4700G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4700G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4700G has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11500. Despite this, the Core i5-11500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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 more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
