[Comparison] Intel Core i5-12500H vs Intel Core i7-11800H – Rookie vs Veteran
So far, the Core i5-12500H has been a phenomenal chip, at least from the few comparisons that we’ve managed to do. Today, it faces a real challenge, as we are putting it up against the Core i7-11800H, an untamed horse of sorts.
The CPU has shown that it can perform, but cooling is of critical importance. While the Core i7 doesn’t bring flashy new E-cores, it makes up for it with more cache and higher base and boost speeds.
