A6-9225 vs Core i5-12450H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12450H beats the A6-9225 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-9225 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12450H has significantly more cores than the A6-9225. Indeed, the Core i5-12450H has 8 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A6-9225. It also has more threads than the A6-9225. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A6-9225 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. A A6-9225 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12450H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-12450H has significantly more L2 cache than the A6-9225

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the A6-9225 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
