Core i9-12900T vs Ryzen 9 6900HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 6900HS 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 9 6900HS that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 9 6900HS. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900T. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i9-12900T also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i9-12900T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
