Ryzen 9 4900HS vs Core i3-12100F comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 4900HS beats the Core i3-12100F in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-12100F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 9 4900HS has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i3-12100F that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-12100F. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-12100F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 4900HS. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 9 4900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-12100F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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