Core i3-1125G4 vs Core i5-12450H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12450H is faster than the Core i3-1125G4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1125G4 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 Core i3-1125G4. Indeed, the Core i5-12450H has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-1125G4. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1125G4. A Core i3-1125G4 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.

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 i3-1125G4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
