Core i5-12450H vs Core i5-1240P comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1240P beats the Core i5-12450H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores than the Core i5-12450H. Indeed, the Core i5-1240P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i5-12450H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12450H. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-12450H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Core i5-12450H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-1240P has more L2 cache than the Core i5-12450H. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i5-12450H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
