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

Ryzen 7 5800U vs Core i7-1260P specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1260P 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1260P has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 5800U. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 5800U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U. Also, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-1260P 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-1260P 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.
