Ryzen 7 4700G vs Ryzen 5 5600 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 4700G beats the Ryzen 5 5600 in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4700G has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 4700G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600. In addition, both chips have the same 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 4700G has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5600. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4700G.

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.
