Core i5-12400 vs Ryzen 5 8645HS comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 8645HS performs better than the Core i5-12400. Despite this, the Core i5-12400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8645HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400. Also, the Ryzen 5 8645HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8645HS outputs less heat than Core i5-12400 thanks to a significantly 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 i5-12400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
