Core i7-4870HQ vs Core i5-12500H specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12500H is faster than the Core i7-4870HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4870HQ in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4870HQ. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has 12 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-4870HQ. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4870HQ. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-4870HQ and Core i5-12500H are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12500H outputs less heat than Core i7-4870HQ thanks to a slightly 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 i7-4870HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
