Ryzen 7 5800 vs Core i5-12490F comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12490F 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.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-12490F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12490F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12490F. In addition, both chips have the same 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 info from our database shows that the Core i5-12490F has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5800. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12490F.
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 5800 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
