Core i5-12600H vs Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U is faster than the Core i5-12600H. Despite this, the Core i5-12600H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-12600H has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-12600H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U outputs less heat than Core i5-12600H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i5-12600H also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i5-12600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
