Intel Core i7-12700H vs AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D

Core i7-12700H vs Ryzen 7 5700X3D benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12700H performs better than the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5700X3D 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 Ryzen 7 5700X3D. Indeed, the Core i7-12700H has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12700H. Despite this, the Core i7-12700H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-12700H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5700X3D 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.
