Considering these two processors: Intel® Core® i9-12900H (2.50GHz 14-core / Turbo Boost up to 5.00GHz) and AMD Ryzen™ 7 (3.20GHz 8-core 6800H / Boost

Considering these two processors:
Intel® Core® i9-12900H (2.50GHz 14-core / Turbo Boost up to 5.00GHz)
and
AMD Ryzen™ 7 (3.20GHz 8-core 6800H / Boost clock up to 4.70GHz)
Would the Ryzen actually be faster on average on single-core workloads since it's base spec is 3.20GHz vs the intel's base spec 2.50GHZ? (Not sure how long single core's can Boost for)
Or does the Intel outperform the Ryzen pretty much unilaterally?
- Macha 4y agoDepends somewhat on workload. Generally the 12900H wins but there are some loads (e.g. handbrake) where the 6800H wins: https://www.techspot.com/review/2487-amd-ryzen-6800h/ https://www.techspot.com/review/2487-amd-ryzen-6800h/

It’s better to look at benchmarks. Passmark is a good one. Its headline number is good for comparing performance in software that takes advantage of multiple cores. For that reason they also show single core performance to see how a cpu will performance relatively using games and apps that don’t use multiple cores. Benchmarks for both chips: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i9-12900H&id=4728 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i9-12900... https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+6800H&id=4749 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+6800H&i... In this case the Intel chip beats the AMD chip both in multi-core and single-core benchmarks.
