Ryzen 7 4800H vs Core i7-12700H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12700H beats the Ryzen 7 4800H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4800H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12700H has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 4800H. Indeed, the Core i7-12700H has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 4800H. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4800H. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 4800H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-12700H. Despite this, the Core i7-12700H has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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.

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 4800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
