Intel Core i7-12700 vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT

Core i7-12700 vs Ryzen 5 5600GT benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12700 performs better than the Ryzen 5 5600GT. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600GT in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12700 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600GT that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600GT. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5600GT has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12700. Despite this, the Core i7-12700 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.

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 i7-12700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
