Intel Core i7-10610U vs Intel Core i5-12450H

Core i7-10610U vs Core i5-12450H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12450H is faster than the Core i7-10610U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10610U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12450H has significantly more cores than the Core i7-10610U. Indeed, the Core i5-12450H has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-10610U. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10610U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-12450H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10610U. Despite this, the Core i7-10610U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10610U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12450H 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 i5-12450H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10610U. The Core i5-12450H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-10610U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
