Ryzen 7 5800X vs Core i7-12650H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12650H performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800X in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12650H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Indeed, the Core i7-12650H has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 5800X. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12650H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i7-12650H 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 Ryzen 7 5800X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-12650H. The Ryzen 7 5800X 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 5800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
