Core i5-12500 vs Core i5-11400H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12500 performs better than the Core i5-11400H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11400H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. The Core i5-11400H outputs less heat than Core i5-12500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-12500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
