Core i9-12900T vs Core i5-13500H comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-12900T performs better than the Core i5-13500H. Despite this, the Core i5-13500H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-12900T has slightly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Core i5-13500H that has 12 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-13500H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-13500H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900T. Despite this, the Core i9-12900T has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core i5-13500H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-12900T. Despite this, the Core i9-12900T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-13500H.
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 i9-12900T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
