Intel® Core™ i5-12500H

The Intel Core i5-12500H is a laptop processor with a hybrid 12-core layout (4 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 16 threads, built on the Alder Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Jan 2022. Clocks run from 2.5 GHz base to 4.5 GHz boost. A 18-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR5, DDR4, LPDDR5, LPDDR4X memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1744 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (28 lanes). Rated TDP is 45 W. Notable platform capabilities: Deep Learning Boost, AVX-VNNI, Extended Page Tables (EPT), AES-NI.

The Intel Core i5-12500H scores 3,365 in single-core performance and 20,233 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,251 for overall performance, 17,862 for productivity performance, 17,185 for creator performance, 22,003 for engineering performance and 15,153 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,686 per core, 1,265 per thread and 450 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,230. Its performance index is 102, so its overall performance is 2% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-12500H scores 70,686 in integer math, 51,314 in floating-point math, 247,930 in compression, 14,470 in cryptography, 1,002 in physics simulation, 14,616 in vector SIMD, 56 in the prime sieve and 27,723 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 20% above in integer math, 12% above in floating-point math, 9% above in compression, 26% above in cryptography, 8% below in physics simulation, 6% below in vector SIMD, 16% below in the prime sieve and 22% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
