Ryzen 7 2700 vs Core i7-12800H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 2700 is faster than the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12800H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 2700 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 2700. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 2700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-12800H 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. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-12800H also has significantly 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.
