Core i5-12450H vs Ryzen 7 8845HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 8845HS performs better than the Core i5-12450H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12450H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 7 8845HS has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Also, the Ryzen 7 8845HS 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 7 8845HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-12450H. The Ryzen 7 8845HS 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.
