Core i5-11600 vs Core i5-12600H specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11600 performs better than the Core i5-12600H. Despite this, the Core i5-12600H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12600H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-11600. Indeed, the Core i5-12600H has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11600. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11600. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-11600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12600H. Also, the Core i5-11600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12600H outputs less heat than Core i5-11600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-12600H has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-11600. The Core i5-12600H also has significantly more 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 i5-11600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
