Core i5-12450H vs Ryzen 7 7730U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 7730U is faster than the Core i5-12450H. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 7 7730U has more threads. Both the Core i5-12450H and Ryzen 7 7730U have the same clock speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7730U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-12450H. The Ryzen 7 7730U also has slightly more 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.
