Core i9-9880H vs Core i5-12500H comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12500H performs better than the Core i9-9880H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9880H in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i9-9880H that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9880H. Despite this, the Core i9-9880H has a slightly higher 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9880H. The Core i5-12500H also has slightly 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 i9-9880H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
