Core i5-3550 vs Core i9-12900T benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i9-12900T beats the Core i5-3550 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-3550 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-12900T has significantly more cores than the Core i5-3550. Indeed, the Core i9-12900T has 16 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-3550. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3550. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3550 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900T. Despite this, the Core i9-12900T has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-12900T 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.
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. For instance, the Core i5-3550 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
