Ryzen 7 5800X vs Core i5-12490F comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800X performs better than the Core i5-12490F. Despite this, the Core i5-12490F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800X has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-12490F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12490F. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12490F. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12490F outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-12490F has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12490F.
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 5800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
