Ryzen 7 4800U vs Core i7-1260P comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 4800U is faster than the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1260P has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U. Also, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-1260P CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-1260P also has significantly 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 4800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
