Intel Core i5-12500 vs AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS

Core i5-12500 vs Ryzen 5 8645HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12500 is faster than the Ryzen 5 8645HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 8645HS in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The Ryzen 5 8645HS 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.

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