Ryzen 7 8840U vs Core i5-12600HX specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12600HX performs better than the Ryzen 7 8840U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 8840U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12600HX has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 8840U that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 8840U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12600HX. Also, the Ryzen 7 8840U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 8840U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12600HX 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 Core i5-12600HX has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 8840U. The Core i5-12600HX 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 8840U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
