Processor comparisons   07-02-2023
   Let's say you can't decide which CPU to buy, you can make a choice after reading the full tests AMD Ryzen 5 4600G vs Intel Core i5-11400 and understand which is better for games or normal use for programming, rendering, machine learning, streaming, video editing. Here is useful information from many benchmarks or real video editing and streaming tests. A careful analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in software tests like PassMark, AIDA64, Blender, PCMark 10, RealBench, MATLAB, VeraCrypt, Blender, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), Furmark, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, UserBenchmark, 3DMark, Dolphin Emulator, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Handbrake, 7zip, SuperPi, GeekBench 6, 5.2, Gears 5, Prime95, WPrime.
   And how good the CPUs are in games:

For the maximum in this test, the results of the most powerful processor in the site database are taken. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a little game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The tested computers not only did they have different video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 4K, 2K or FullHD. Therefore, the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.

To make a final decision on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Core i5-11400 is more energy efficient than the Ryzen 5 4600G since it has less power consumption: 65W vs. 65W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, it will be useful to know its TDP. You need to buy a cooler that has the TDP data specified in the specification was greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

Let's say you want to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for programming, machine learning, video editing or video rendering, streaming, then first of all you need to pay attention to the performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to reach maximum performance, the processor uses all threads and cores that it has. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to find out whether the program that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the benefit of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the most useful will be the the possibility of overclocking it and release date of the processor. The newer the processor, the longer it will last in your computer. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same can be said about overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will continue to maintain maximum FPS even in new games. The economy are obvious! Accordingly, there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer.

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Ryzen 5 4600G is 29% better than Core i5-11400 in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is better: 10
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i5-11400 is better: 24
However, it should be understood that all the data in the table above do not mean that taking them into account you should undividedly trust a simple comparison of these figures. Be sure to watch the testing video and read the opinion of real owners of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and Intel Core i5-11400 before making a selection which CPU to buy for gaming and which not.
