AMD Ryzen 7 3700X vs Intel Core i5-12500H

Ryzen 7 3700X vs Core i5-12500H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12500H is faster than the Ryzen 7 3700X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3700X in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 3700X. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 3700X. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3700X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12500H outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 3700X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 Core i5-12500H has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 3700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 3700X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12500H.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
