Ryzen 7 5800H vs Core i5-12400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12400 beats the Ryzen 7 5800H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-12400 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12400. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5800H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12400. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 5800H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12400 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
