Core i7-1260P vs Core i7-12800HX specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12800HX beats the Core i7-1260P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1260P in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12800HX has slightly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Core i7-1260P that has 12 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-1260P. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800HX. Despite this, the Core i7-12800HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-1260P CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-12800HX 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-12800HX also has slightly 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 i7-1260P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
