Core i3-12100F vs Core i7-12850HX benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12850HX performs better than the Core i3-12100F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-12100F in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12850HX has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Core i3-12100F that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-12100F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-12100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12850HX. Despite this, the Core i7-12850HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-12850HX outputs less heat than Core i3-12100F thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-12100F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
