Intel Core i7-12700H vs AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS

Intel Core i7-12700H

► remove from comparison Intel i7-12700H

The Intel Core i7-12700H is a high-end mobile CPU for laptops based on the Alder Lake architecture. It was announced in early 2022 and offers 6 performance cores (P-cores, Golden Cove architecture) and 8 efficiency cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores support Hyper-Threading leading to 20 supported threads when combined with the E-cores. The clock rate ranges from 2.3 to 4.7 GHz on the performance cluster and 1.7 - 3.5 GHz on the efficient cluster. The performance of the E-cores should be similar to old Skylake cores (compare to the Core i7-6920HQ). All cores can use up to 24 MB L3 cache. Compared to the 12900H, the 12700H is lower clocked and offers only "Essentials" vPro features.

Performance

The average 12700H in our database wins a very important battle by being ever-so-slightly faster than the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX in multi-thread benchmarks while, perhaps even more importantly, nearly matching multi-thread benchmark scores of the more costly Core i9-12900H to be a great bang for the buck overall.

Thanks to its decent cooling solution and a long-term CPU power limit of 101 W, the Legion 5 15IAH7H 82RB is among the fastest laptops built around the 12700H that we know of. It can be nearly 60% faster in CPU-bound workloads than the slowest system featuring the same chip in our database, as of August 2023.

Features

The integrated memory controller supports various memory types up to DDR5-4800, DDR4-3200, LPDDR5-5200, and LPDDR4x-4267. The Thread Director (in hardware) can support the operating system to decide which thread to use on the performance or efficient cores for the best performance. For AI tasks, the CPU also integrates GNA 3.0 and DL Boost (via AVX2). Quick Sync in version 8 is the same as in the Rocket Lake CPUs and supports MPEG-2, AVC, VC-1 decode, JPEG, VP8 decode, VP9, HEVC, and AV1 decode in hardware. The CPU only supports PCIe 4.0 (x8 for a GPU and two x4 for SSDs).

The integrated graphics adapter is based on the Xe architecture and offers 96 EUs (Execution Units) operating at up to 1.4 GHz.

Power consumption

This Core i7 series chip has a "minimum assured" power consumption of 35 W, with 45 W being its Base power consumption. The CPU's highest Intel-recommended Turbo power consumption sits at 115 W.

The i7-12700H is built with Intel's 4th generation 10 nm process marketed as Intel 7 for average, as of early 2023, energy efficiency.

AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS

► remove from comparison AMD R7 7735HS

The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is a processor for (gaming) laptops based of the Rembrandt Refresh generation. The R7 7735HS integrates all eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 3.2 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.75 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (16 threads). The chip is manufactured in 6 nm at TSMC. The 7735HS is the refresh of the Ryzen 7 6800HS with 50 MHz higher boost speed and a potential higher TDP up to 54W.

The Zen 3+ is a refresh of the Zen 3 architecture and should not offer a lot of changes. The chip offers modern features, like support for USB 4 (40 Gbps), PCI-E Gen 4 and DDR5-4800MT/s or LPDDR5-6400MT/s.

Performance

The average 7735HS in our database is in the same league as the Ryzen 5 7645HX, Ryzen 9 6900HS, Ryzen 9 6900HX, Core i5-12500H, Core i5-13500H, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned.

Thanks to its decent cooling solution and a long-term CPU power limit of 75 W, the Acer Nitro 16 AN16-41 is among the fastest laptops built around the 7735HS that we know of. It can be about 20% faster in CPU-bound workloads than the slowest system featuring the same chip in our database, as of August 2023.

The integrated GPU Radeon 680M is still one of the fastest iGPUs (only bested by the new Radeon 780M). It is based on the RDNA2 architecture and offers 12 CUs at up to 2.2 GHz.

Power consumption

This Ryzen 7 CPU has a specified TDP of 35 W to 54 W (also known as the long-term power limit).
