Core i5-12450H vs Core i5-13420H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-13420H is faster than the Core i5-12450H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12450H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-13420H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12450H. Also, the Core i5-13420H has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core i5-13420H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to 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.
