Ryzen 3 1200 vs Core i5-12400 comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12400 is faster than the Ryzen 3 1200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1200 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12400 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 1200. Indeed, the Core i5-12400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 1200. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 1200. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 1200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400. Despite this, the Core i5-12400 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.
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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
