Core i7-5960X vs Core i5-12600H comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12600H is faster than the Core i7-5960X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5960X in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12600H has significantly more cores than the Core i7-5960X. Indeed, the Core i5-12600H has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-5960X. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-5960X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12600H. Despite this, the Core i5-12600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12600H outputs less heat than Core i7-5960X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-5960X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
