AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Intel Core i5-12500H

Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Core i5-12500H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is faster than the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12500H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i5-12500H outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5800X3D thanks to a 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 5800X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12500H.

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 5800X3D has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
