Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i3-12100 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600H is faster than the Core i3-12100. Despite this, the Core i3-12100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5600H has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-12100 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-12100. Both the Ryzen 5 5600H and Core i3-12100 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i3-12100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-12100 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Ryzen 5 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
