Ryzen 7 1800X vs Core i5-12600H specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12600H beats the Ryzen 7 1800X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1800X 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 7 1800X. Indeed, the Core i5-12600H has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 1800X. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 1800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12600H. Despite this, the Core i5-12600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12600H 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 data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i5-12600H 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.
