Core i7-12800H vs Core Ultra 7 256V comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-12800H is faster than the Core Ultra 7 256V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 256V has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12800H has significantly more cores than the Core Ultra 7 256V. Indeed, the Core i7-12800H has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core Ultra 7 256V. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 7 256V. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-12800H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core Ultra 7 256V. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 256V has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 7 256V.

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 i7-12800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
