Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i5-11500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11500 beats the Ryzen 7 4700U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4700U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-11500 has 6 cores. Despite this, the Core i5-11500 has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4700U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-11500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Also, the Core i5-11500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-11500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
