Ryzen 7 5800H vs Core i5-12500T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12500T performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800H. 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 i5-12500T that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500T. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i5-12500T outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5800H thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-12500T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 5800H. The Core i5-12500T also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
