Core i7-1260P vs Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U is faster than the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1260P has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. Also, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U outputs less heat than Core i7-1260P thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7-1260P 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.
