Core i5-12500H vs Ryzen AI 7 350 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen AI 7 350 is faster than the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Ryzen AI 7 350 has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen AI 7 350. Despite this, the Ryzen AI 7 350 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen AI 7 350 outputs less heat than Core i5-12500H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen AI 7 350 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen AI 7 350.

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