Core i5-12450H vs Ryzen 5 5500GT comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12450H is faster than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500GT in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-12450H has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 5500GT has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500GT has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12450H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-12450H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500GT CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500GT has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-12450H. The Ryzen 5 5500GT 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 i5-12450H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
