Intel Core i5-4670R vs AMD Athlon PRO 300U

Processor comparisons 20-01-2022

   For example you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a decision by looking at the Intel Core i5-4670R vs AMD Athlon PRO 300U tests and decide which is better for games or normal use for streaming, programming, rendering, machine learning, video editing. Here is all information from real streaming and video editing tests or different benchmarks. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in software tests like DaVinci Resolve Studio, GeekBench 6, 5.2, Blender, Blender, UserBenchmark, AIDA64, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, Handbrake, PassMark, WPrime, Furmark, VeraCrypt, PCMark 10, Dolphin Emulator, RealBench, MATLAB, Gears 5, 7zip, SuperPi, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), 3DMark, Prime95.
   And how good the processors are in games:

DOOM: Eternal
Grand Theft Auto V
Fortnite
Watch Dogs Legion
Last Man Standing
Fallout 76
Valorant
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Apex Legends
Rainbow Six Siege

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 run games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a small game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.
List of less popular games in which CPU comparisons were performed: League of Legends (LOL), Half-Life: Alyx, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Microsoft Flight Simulator, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Control, Monster Hunter World, NBA 2K20, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Ghostrunner, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Horizon Zero Dawn, Hitman 3, DOTA 2A, Forza Horizon 4, Battlefield V, Metro Exodus.

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 choice on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. It is clear that the newer the generation, the better the performance of the processor in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Athlon PRO 300U is more energy efficient than the Core i5-4670R as it consumes less power: 65W vs. 15W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you must 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

If you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for streaming, video rendering or video editing, machine learning, programming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to achieve maximum performance, the CPU includes all cores and threads that it has. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to make sure that the software that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that use only one core to work, and all the benefit of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications

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

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Core i5-4670R is 20% better than Athlon PRO 300U in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Core i5-4670R has 2 more core than Athlon PRO 300U. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i5-4670R is better: 29
The number of parameters for which AMD Athlon PRO 300U is better: 7
