AMD Ryzen 5 4500U vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600H: Comparison
Ryzen 5 4500U vs Ryzen 5 5600H l3 cache compared
On l3 cache the spread is 50%, Ryzen 5 4500U 8 MB against Ryzen 5 5600H 16 MB, so Ryzen 5 5600H takes it. There is a split on release year as well, 2020 on the Ryzen 5 4500U versus 2021 on the Ryzen 5 5600H. There is a split on igpu as well, AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 on the Ryzen 5 4500U versus AMD Radeon Graphics on the Ryzen 5 5600H. Microarchitecture is not the same on both, Zen 2, Ryzen 4000 Series "Renoir" on the Ryzen 5 4500U versus Zen 3 on the Ryzen 5 5600H. Smt enabled is not the same on both, No on the Ryzen 5 4500U versus Yes on the Ryzen 5 5600H.
Who each one is for
Take the Ryzen 5 4500U for budget-conscious thin-and-light laptops focused on everyday productivity rather than heavy multitasking. Avoid it for buyers specifically wanting the strongest multi-threaded performance in the Ryzen 4000 U-series lineup, the SMT-equipped Ryzen 5 4600U or Ryzen 7 4700U/4800U handle that better. Take the Ryzen 5 5600H for mid-range gaming laptops wanting genuine Zen 3 single-thread performance without paying for the full 8-core Ryzen 7 5800H. It is not the one for content creators needing maximum multi-threaded throughput, the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800H handles that better.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, integrated graphics and socket read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 5 further specifications as well.
