Ryzen 7 1800X vs Core i5-12450H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 1800X performs better than the Core i5-12450H. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 7 1800X has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 1800X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12450H. The Core i5-12450H outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 1800X has more L2 cache than the Core i5-12450H. The Ryzen 7 1800X also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 7 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
