Ryzen 7 5800U vs Core i5-12500H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12500H performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800U. 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 Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800U. Also, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12500H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-12500H has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U. The Core i5-12500H also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
