Intel Core i5-12450H vs AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS

Core i5-12450H vs Ryzen 5 8645HS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 8645HS 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 8645HS that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8645HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Also, the Ryzen 5 8645HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 8645HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-12450H. The Ryzen 5 8645HS 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.
