We believe that the comparison that we’ll do today can be considered a measurement of how good the new Zen 3 chips are when compared to their direct predecessor. We have the Ryzen 5 5600H going against the Ryzen 5 4600H, in a battle that will show exactly how much improvement there has been between the different architectures.

The processors are pretty evenly matched, with both having a 6/12 layout and a clock boost clock speed of 4.00GHz or above. Yes, the new chip has double the amount of cache, but let’s see if it has a large effect on the performance in our benchmarks.

Conclusion

The new processor performed admirably and is the winner in this comparison, which is completely expected, considering that it uses a newer architecture and has higher clock speeds, along with double the amount of cache. Still, the Ryzen 5 4600H did a remarkable job against its replacement and is still a viable alternative, especially if the prices of laptops equipped with it keep going down. While there is a difference when it comes to productivity, we don’t think that it will be as noticeable, especially during gaming, where the GPU takes the bigger load.
