Core i5-12450HX vs Ryzen 5 5500X3D specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12450HX performs better than the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500X3D in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12450HX has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5500X3D that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12450HX. Despite this, the Core i5-12450HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12450HX CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500X3D CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-12450HX has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12450HX.
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 i5-12450HX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
