Core i7-12700H vs Core i7-9750H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-12700H is faster than the Core i7-9750H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9750H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12700H has significantly more cores than the Core i7-9750H. Indeed, the Core i7-12700H has 14 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-9750H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9750H. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9750H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12700H. Despite this, the Core i7-12700H 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.

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.
