Intel Core i5-12450H vs Intel Core Ultra 7 268V

Core i5-12450H vs Core Ultra 7 268V specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core Ultra 7 268V 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 but the Core i5-12450H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 7 268V has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 268V has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-12450H. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-12450H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
