Processor comparisons 12-01-2022

   If you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a decision by looking at the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H vs Intel Core i5-12400T tests and understand which is better for games or normal use for programming, rendering, video editing, streaming, machine learning. Here is all information from different benchmarks or real video editing and streaming tests. A careful analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in synthetic type tests like PassMark, PCMark 10, VeraCrypt, SuperPi, 3DMark, GeekBench 6, 5.2, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, Blender, AIDA64, Dolphin Emulator, RealBench, UserBenchmark, Gears 5, MATLAB, WPrime, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), 7zip, Furmark, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Blender, Prime95, Handbrake.
   And how good the CPUs are in games:

DOOM: Eternal
Rainbow Six Siege
Grand Theft Auto V
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
Valheim
Halo Infinite
Last Man Standing

The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor currently available. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a little game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers participating in the comparisons not only were the equipped with different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 2K, FullHD or 4K. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.

To make a finishing resolution on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. It is clear that the newer the generation, the better the performance of the processor in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Core i5-12400T is more energy efficient than the Ryzen 7 6800H as it consumes less power: 45W vs. 35W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, it will be useful to know its TDP. You need to buy a cooler that has the TDP data specified in the specification was greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

If you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for programming, machine learning, streaming, video editing or video rendering, then first of all you need to pay attention to the performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to reach maximum efficiency, the CPU turns on all cores and threads that it has. You will find out this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to check whether the software you are going to use on your computer supports multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that use only one core to run, and all the benefit of multi-core mode turns out to be unnecessary.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the most useful will be the release date of the processor and the possibility of overclocking it. The later the processor is released, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. When the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in new games. Accordingly, there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The economy are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Core i5-12400T is 3% better than Ryzen 7 6800H in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Ryzen 7 6800H has 2 more core than Core i5-12400T. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which AMD Ryzen 7 6800H is better: 8
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i5-12400T is better: 28
The summary data that you have looked at here do not mean that taking them into account you should fully trust a simple comparison of these numbers. Better to watch the video tests and read the reviews of of people who bought AMD Ryzen 7 6800H and Intel Core i5-12400T before deciding which of the processors to buy for gaming.
