Ryzen 9 6900HS vs Core i5-12500H comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 6900HS beats the Core i5-12500H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HS that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12500H. Also, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12500H CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-12500H has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 9 6900HS. The Core i5-12500H also has slightly more L3 cache.
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 6900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
