Core i5-7200U vs Core i7-12700H benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12700H performs better than the Core i5-7200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7200U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12700H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7200U. Indeed, the Core i7-12700H has 14 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-7200U. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7200U. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12700H. Despite this, the Core i7-12700H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-12700H CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Core i5-7200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
