Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.

Benchmark results
The benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 have been carefully checked by us. We only publish benchmark results that have been created by us or that have been submitted by a visitor and then checked by a team member. All results are based on and fullfill our benchmark guidelines.
Geekbench 5 is a cross plattform benchmark that heavily uses the systems memory. A fast memory will push the result a lot. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.
Geekbench 5 is a cross plattform benchmark that heavily uses the systems memory. A fast memory will push the result a lot. The multi-core test involves all CPU cores and taks a big advantage of hyperthreading.
Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The single-core benchmark only evaluates the performance of the fastest CPU core, the number of CPU cores in a processor is irrelevant here.
Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The multi-core benchmark evaluates the performance of all of the processor's CPU cores. Virtual thread improvements such as AMD SMT or Intel's Hyper-Threading have a positive impact on the benchmark result.
Some of the CPUs listed below have been benchmarked by CPU-monkey. However the majority of CPUs have not been tested and the results have been estimated by a CPU-monkey’s secret proprietary formula. As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd.
The AMD Ryzen 5 4500 is a six-core desktop processor clocked at 3.6 GHz. It supports AMDs SMT technology (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) and can therefore process two threads simultaneously per CPU core. Therefore, the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 supports up to 12 threads at the same time.
Although the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 was only introduced in the second quarter of 2022, it was not based on the "Zen 3" architecture that was current at the time, but on the predecessor architecture "Zen 2". AMD may be using partially defective chips here, e.g. from the APUs of the XBox Series S/X or the Playstation 5. These rely on 8 CPU cores with 16 threads (Zen 2).
The AMD Ryzen 5 4500 is manufactured in 7 nm and fits into the AM4 socket. The level 2 cache is 3 MB, the level 3 cache 8 MB. Since it is an APU (with deactivated internal graphics), the processor is based on AMDs "Renoir" platform.
This can connect a maximum of 32 GB DDR4-3200 memory to the system in two memory channels. In addition, only 12 PCIe 3.0 lines are provided, so that current graphics cards, for example, can only be connected with 8 lines (normal: 16). This can result in minor performance losses.
The RAM bandwidth is 51.2 GB per second with two DDR4-3200 modules. AMD specifies the TDP of the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 as 65 watts, but a configuration at 45 watts is also possible. In general, the 4 and 6 core Zen processors are relatively energy efficient.
The performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 is roughly on par with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor and is therefore sufficient to play most games quite smoothly. The processors performance is also easily sufficient for most applications. The AMD Ryzen 5 4500 offers itself as a cheap solution in a smaller system.
