Intel Core i5-12500H vs Intel Core i5-13500H

Core i5-12500H vs Core i5-13500H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12500H performs better than the Core i5-13500H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-13500H 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-13500H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12500H. Also, the Core i5-13500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-13500H has more L2 cache than the Core i5-12500H. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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