Core i5-12500 vs Ryzen 7 6800H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12500 is faster than the Ryzen 7 6800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 6800H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 6800H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-12500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12500. The Ryzen 7 6800H 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-12500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
