Core i5-12600T vs Ryzen 5 7640HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 7640HS is faster than the Core i5-12600T. Despite this, the Core i5-12600T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12600T. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12600T CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7640HS CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-12600T has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 7640HS. The Core i5-12600T also has slightly more L3 cache.

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