Core i5-1240P vs Ryzen 7 8845HS specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 8845HS 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 8845HS. Indeed, the Core i5-1240P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 8845HS. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Also, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1240P CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-1240P. The Ryzen 7 8845HS also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
