Ryzen 7 6800H vs Core i7-12800H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 6800H performs better than the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12800H has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 6800H. Indeed, the Core i7-12800H has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 6800H. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 6800H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i7-12800H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 6800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
