Ryzen 7 5800H vs Core i5-12500 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12500 is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800H has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-12500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12500. A Ryzen 7 5800H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12500 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.
