Core i5-1240P vs Ryzen 7 7730U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7730U beats the Core i5-1240P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1240P in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 7730U that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 7730U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1240P has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 7730U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7730U has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1240P.

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 i5-1240P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
