Core i7-12650H vs Ryzen 7 8840U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 8840U is faster than the Core i7-12650H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-12650H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12650H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 8840U. Indeed, the Core i7-12650H has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 8840U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 8840U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12650H. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8840U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-12650H. Despite this, the Core i7-12650H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 8840U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-12650H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
