AMD Ryzen 7 4700G vs Intel Core i5-12500

Ryzen 7 4700G vs Core i5-12500 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12500 performs better than the Ryzen 7 4700G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4700G in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 4700G has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700G has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-12500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12500. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 4700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
