Ryzen 7 2700 vs Core i7-1260P benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1260P performs better than the Ryzen 7 2700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1260P has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 2700. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 2700. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260P outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 2700 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 i7-1260P 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 7 2700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
