Core i9-12900T vs Ryzen 7 7735HS comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 7735HS performs better than the Core i9-12900T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-12900T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-12900T has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 7735HS that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 7735HS. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 7735HS has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-12900T. Despite this, the Core i9-12900T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-12900T CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i9-12900T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
