Ryzen 7 3800XT vs Core i7-12650H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12650H performs better than the Ryzen 7 3800XT. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3800XT in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12650H has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 3800XT that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3800XT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12650H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i7-12650H outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 3800XT 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, the Ryzen 7 3800XT has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-12650H. The Ryzen 7 3800XT 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 3800XT has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
