Intel Core i5-4460 vs Intel Core i5-12500H

Core i5-4460 vs Core i5-12500H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12500H is faster than the Core i5-4460. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4460. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has 12 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-4460. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4460. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4460 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 i5-4460 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-4460. The Core i5-12500H also has significantly 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. For instance, the Core i5-4460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
