Core i5-3550 vs Core i5-12500H specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12500H is faster than the Core i5-3550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3550 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Core i5-3550 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3550. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3550 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12500H outputs less heat than Core i5-3550 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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. For instance, the Core i5-3550 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
