Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i7-12700 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12700 beats the Ryzen 7 4700U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4700U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-12700 has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Ryzen 7 4700U has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4700U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-12700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U. Also, the Core i7-12700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-12700 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
