Core i7-12700H vs Core 2 Duo E6850 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12700H beats the Core 2 Duo E6850 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E6850 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12700H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core 2 Duo E6850 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E6850. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E6850 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12700H. A Core i7-12700H CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E6850 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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 i7-12700H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
