Intel Core i7-11700K vs Intel Core i7-12650H

Core i7-11700K vs Core i7-12650H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11700K is faster than the Core i7-12650H. Despite this, the Core i7-12650H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12650H has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-11700K that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-11700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12650H. Also, the Core i7-11700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-12650H outputs less heat than Core i7-11700K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-11700K has more L2 cache than the Core i7-12650H. Despite this, the Core i7-12650H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-11700K.

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 i7-11700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
