Core i9-12900H vs Ryzen 5 7500F specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-12900H is faster than the Ryzen 5 7500F. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7500F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-12900H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7500F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7500F. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7500F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i9-12900H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7500F CPU because of its 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 i9-12900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
