Ryzen 7 5800 vs Core i5-12400F benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12400F performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12400F. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-12400F. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12400F. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5800 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400F. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800 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.

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 5800 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
