AMD Ryzen 5 4500U Benchmarks - Previously Unimaginable Performance For Sub-$600 Laptops

Overall, the Ryzen 5 4500U is running quite well as a "budget" six-core processor.

The FFmpeg library can be compiled in less than two minutes with the Ryzen 5 4500U, compared to three minutes with the Ice Lake Core i7 1065G7 on Ubuntu 20.04.

Or about a three minute default configured Linux kernel build on the Lenovo Flex 5 with Ryzen 5 4500U... Much better than the 4+ minutes with the Ice Lake and Coffee Lake processors tested.

With six cores, the Ryzen 5 4500U is a decent budget mobile CPU choice for software developers wanting to frequently compile code on host.
