Ryzen 7 5800U vs Core i5-12400 specs and performance

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

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800U 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 Core i5-12400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800U 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.

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 5800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
