Ryzen 7 3800XT vs Core i7-12800HX specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 3800XT is faster than the Core i7-12800HX. Despite this, the Core i7-12800HX has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12800HX has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 3800XT that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 3800XT. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3800XT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800HX. Despite this, the Core i7-12800HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-12800HX 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. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 3800XT 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 3800XT has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
