Ryzen 7 7730U vs Core i5-12450HX specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12450HX is faster than the Ryzen 7 7730U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 7730U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 7 7730U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-12450HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 7730U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7730U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 7730U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12450HX CPU because of its 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 i5-12450HX has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 7730U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7730U has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12450HX.

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 7730U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
