Core i5-12490F vs Ryzen 7 5700 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5700 is faster than the Core i5-12490F. Despite this, the Core i5-12490F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5700 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12490F. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-12490F. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12490F. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5700 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12490F. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-12490F has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5700. The Core i5-12490F 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 i5-12490F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
