Conclusion
The Core i5-12500H might be the new value king, offering performance that is off the charts for a Core i5 CPU. However, that doesn’t discredit the Ryzen 5 5600H, which can still be a valuable processor for gaming, especially if paired with a good GPU. Keep in mind that there is also a decent price gap between the two chips, making both a good choice depending on your financial situation.
it is crazy that intel can offer 30% more performance than amd
But it consumes twice as much electricity and the battery discharges quickly.
