Intel Core 7 240H vs Intel Core i7-12650HX

Core 7 240H vs Core i7-12650HX specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12650HX beats the Core 7 240H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 7 240H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12650HX has slightly more cores than the Core 7 240H. Indeed, the Core i7-12650HX has 14 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Core 7 240H. It also has more threads than the Core 7 240H. Our comparison shows that the Core 7 240H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12650HX. Also, the Core 7 240H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-12650HX has slightly more L2 cache than the Core 7 240H. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core 7 240H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
