Ryzen 9 6900HS vs Core i7-12650H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12650H performs better than the Ryzen 9 6900HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 6900HS in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12650H has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HS that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12650H. Also, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-12650H CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 9 6900HS has more L2 cache than the Core i7-12650H. Despite this, the Core i7-12650H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HS.

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 6900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
