Intel Core i9-13900H vs Intel Core i7-12800H

Core i9-13900H vs Core i7-12800H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12800H beats the Core i9-13900H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i9-13900H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-13900H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800H. Also, the Core i9-13900H has a slightly higher turbo speed. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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 i9-13900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
