Ryzen 7 8840HS vs Core i5-12450HX comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12450HX is faster than the Ryzen 7 8840HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 8840HS in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 7 8840HS has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 8840HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450HX. Also, the Ryzen 7 8840HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 8840HS 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 8840HS has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-12450HX. The Ryzen 7 8840HS 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 8840HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
