The Ryzen 5 4600H features an integrated Vega GPU with 6 compute units clocked up to 1,500 MHz, but in practice the vast majority of systems using this APU will also feature a discrete GPU.© 2020 TechSpot, Inc. All Rights Reserved.And if you want to use a software encode, for example a 2 pass encode, the Ryzen 5 system punches well above its weight, slotting in between Core i7-10875H and Core i7-10750H systems despite featuring just an entry-level GPU for effect acceleration.Let’s kick this one off with a look at Cinebench R20 and… wait that can’t be right. For both AMD and Intel CPUs that normally means a 45W long-term power limit.This laptop looks very similar to the TUF Gaming A15 that we used in our Ryzen 7 4800H review, however there are some subtle differences to the design both inside and out. AMD Ryzen™ 5 Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Graphics. Granted, the Core i5 range isn’t very popular with OEMs, but whether the Ryzen 5 4600H is competing against the Core i5 range or a Core i7, AMD is still coming out on top in most productivity workloads.In other words, out of the box, this laptop is your average affordable entry, but to ensure an apples-to-apples comparison with other systems, we swapped out the memory for a full 16GB of dual-channel DDR4-3200. AMD Ryzen 5 4600H.
With a score over 3200 points, AMD’s mainstream APU is outperforming much higher-tier processors from Intel like the Core i7-10875H and Core i9-9880H in the multi-core test. PLEASE WHITELIST US. We’re seeing a 10% margin over the Core i5-9300H, along with around a 7% lead on the Core i7-10750H and 9750H.
In Handbrake, the Ryzen 5 4600H delivers a crushing blow to the Core i5-9300H, coming in 65 percent faster. Our last productivity workload is DaVinci Resolve Studio and this is one where the GPU plays a significant role in encoding performance. Multi-thread performance is up to twice as fast with the core count and efficiency advantage that AMD holds, but even with single-thread performance we saw better performance in most instances.
This GCC compilation has multi and single threaded components but unless we’re fully single threaded, AMD appears to hold a double digit performance gain.The big kicker comes when we actually put the Ryzen 5 4600H against the chip it’s competing with, the Core i5-9300H. For gaming purposes, we’d expect most GTX 1650 Ti systems to perform similarly due to the GPU bottleneck; the CPU isn’t much of a consideration.The Ryzen 5 4600H is powerful enough that it throws up interesting questions around laptop configurations. And in Cinebench R20, the Ryzen 5 4600H absolutely obliterates the 9300H. The Ryzen 5 4600H is significantly faster than the Core i5-9300H in most workloads, which we suspect will also be the case with the Core i5-10300. In Puget’s Export test, again the Ryzen 5 4600H performs well considering it has a slower GPU.This six-core CPU offers a performance advantage over Intel’s Core i5 quad-cores that is simply unheard of in the mobile space.
