Core i7-12800H vs Ryzen 5 5500X3D comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-12800H is faster than the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D 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 Ryzen 5 5500X3D. Indeed, the Core i7-12800H has 14 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-12800H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500X3D CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-12800H has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-12800H.

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