Core i9-12900H vs Core i7-13700H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-13700H performs better than the Core i9-12900H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-12900H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-12900H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-13700H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds.

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 i9-12900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
