AMD Ryzen 5 4600G Review

Launched July 2020, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is an OEM-focused 6-core, 12-thread desktop APU built on Zen 2, running a 3.7 GHz base clock that boosts to 4.2 GHz within a 65 Watt TDP.

Paired with the Vega 7 iGPU, this chip was originally sold primarily to system builders rather than as a standalone retail part, offering genuinely capable integrated graphics for a desktop build without a discrete GPU.

AMD Radeon RX Vega 7

A 7-compute-unit Vega iGPU, a genuinely capable integrated graphics option for a desktop build, handling esports titles and everyday use without a discrete GPU.

How Is the Ryzen 5 4600G in Terms of Performance

The 6-core, 12-thread layout at 65W gives this chip solid desktop-class multi-threaded performance, while the Vega 7 iGPU makes it a genuinely practical choice for a budget desktop build not yet ready to add a discrete GPU.

Benchmarks

Cinebench R23 multi-core scores of 9,342 and single-core scores of 1,229 confirm solid desktop-class performance for a 6-core Zen 2 chip. Geekbench 5 multi-core scores of 5,705 place this chip competitively against similarly-specced desktop chips of its generation.

Our verdict

Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.

Best for

Budget desktop builds wanting genuinely capable integrated graphics without an immediate discrete GPU purchase

Not for

Buyers specifically needing maximum CPU multi-threaded performance, pure CPU chips without iGPU silicon overhead often deliver more within the same generation
