Core i7-12800H vs Ryzen 7 8840HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-12800H is faster than the Ryzen 7 8840HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 8840HS in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12800H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 8840HS that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 8840HS. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 8840HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800H. Also, the Ryzen 7 8840HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8840HS outputs less heat than Core i7-12800H thanks to a 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 Ryzen 7 8840HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 8840HS.

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.
