Core i7-11800H vs Core i7-12650H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-12650H is faster than the Core i7-11800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11800H in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-12650H has slightly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i7-11800H has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-11800H and Core i7-12650H are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i7-12650H has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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. Indeed, the Core i7-11800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
