Intel Core i5-12450H vs Intel Core i5-13600K

Core i5-12450H vs Core i5-13600K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-13600K beats the Core i5-12450H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12450H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-13600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Also, the Core i5-13600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12450H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-13600K 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 Core i5-13600K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-12450H. The Core i5-13600K also has significantly 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 i5-12450H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
