AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX vs Intel Core i7-1270P

Ryzen 9 5900HX vs Core i7-1270P specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 5900HX is faster than the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1270P has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 9 5900HX. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 9 5900HX. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 5900HX has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1270P outputs less heat than Ryzen 9 5900HX thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 9 5900HX. The Core i7-1270P 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 9 5900HX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
