Ryzen 5 8645HS vs Core i5-12600H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 8645HS beats the Core i5-12600H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12600H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12600H has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 8645HS. Indeed, the Core i5-12600H has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 8645HS. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8645HS. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 8645HS has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12600H. Also, the Ryzen 5 8645HS 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 Ryzen 5 8645HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-12600H. Despite this, the Core i5-12600H has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 8645HS.

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 Ryzen 5 8645HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
