Core i5-12450H vs Ryzen 5 5600GT comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600GT 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12450H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600GT that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600GT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600GT has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12450H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5600GT 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 5600GT has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-12450H. The Ryzen 5 5600GT also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-12450H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
