AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Intel Core i5-12600K

Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Core i5-12600K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12600K beats the Ryzen 7 5800HS in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800HS in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12600K has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 5800HS that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-12600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800HS. Also, the Core i5-12600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 5800HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
