Ryzen 9 4900H vs Core i5-12450H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 4900H performs better than the Core i5-12450H. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 9 4900H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 9 4900H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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, the Ryzen 9 4900H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-12450H. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 9 4900H.

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 9 4900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
