AMD Ryzen 5 4600G
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G has 6 cores and can process 12 threads at the same time. Its base clock frequency is 3.7 GHz. The processor can increase its clock rate up to 4.2 GHz during single-core load. On some mainboards, however, 4.3 GHz are also possible here. In multi-core load scenarios, the limit is 4.2 GHz. The processor fits into the AM4 socket from AMD.

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is based on the AMD Renoir design, which does not have a chipplet, but a monolithic design. Zen2 cores are used, which are supplemented with an AMD Vega Graphics as an iGPU. As with all modern Ryzen processors, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G can also be overclocked. However, this requires a corresponding mainboard with a chipset that allows overclocking.

The level 3 cache is 8 MB and is reduced compared to the normal Ryzen processors. These offer 16 MB level 3 cache per 4 cores chipplet. AMD had to reduce the level 3 cache of the Renoir APUs to make room for the iGPU. Reducing the cache does not have a major impact on benchmarks or real applications and can be neglected in most cases.

The TDP can also be reduced on other mainboards. The base TDP of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is 65 watts, but can also be reduced to 45 watts if the user wishes. A reduction to 35 watts is also possible on some mainboards. By reducing the TDP, the waste heat from the processor can be reduced in small systems. In addition, as the clock frequency decreases, the efficiency of the processor also increases.

The Renoir APUs support up to 64 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, of which the iGPU can reserve up to 2 GB as VRAM (graphics memory). In addition, the dual-channel mode of the main memory is supported, in which the memory bandwidth is doubled using at least two main memory modules.
  • Integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 Graphics
