Core i5-12500H vs Core i7-12800HX specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12800HX performs better than the Core i5-12500H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12500H in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12800HX has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12500H. Indeed, the Core i7-12800HX has 16 cores compared to 12 cores found in the Core i5-12500H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12500H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800HX. Despite this, the Core i7-12800HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12500H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-12800HX CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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 i5-12500H has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i7-12800HX. Despite this, the Core i7-12800HX has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12500H.
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 i5-12500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
