AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Intel Core i7-1260P

Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Core i7-1260P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800HS performs better than the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1260P has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 5800HS. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 5800HS. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5800HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260P outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5800HS thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-1260P 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 5800HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
