Ryzen 9 4900HS vs Core i5-12600H comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 4900HS beats the Core i5-12600H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-12600H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12600H has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 9 4900HS that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 9 4900HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12600H. Despite this, the Core i5-12600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 4900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12600H CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-12600H also has significantly 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 9 4900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
