About the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2021. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The 5500U is compatible with AMD Socket FP6 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Graphics 448SP integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 5 5500U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5500U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 8 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 5 5500U features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.0 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 5 5500U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Graphics 448SP. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 5 5500U has the 245th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 27.14% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Ryzen 5 4680U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 4680U is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Ryzen 5 4680U is fabricated on a 7 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 4680U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 384 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 3 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 8 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 5 4680U features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2200.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 4000.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 5 4680U does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 5 4680U has the 244th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 27.17% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
