Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i5-12450H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12450H beats the Ryzen 5 5600H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12450H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5600H. Indeed, the Core i5-12450H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5600H. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5600H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-12450H. The Ryzen 5 5600H 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 Ryzen 5 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
