Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 vs Intel Core i5-12600HE

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.55 GHz. The processor can compute 8 threads at the same time. The Intel Core i5-12600HE clocks with 2.50 GHz (4.50 GHz), has 12 CPU cores and can calculate 16 threads in parallel.

Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to 16 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2, while the Intel Core i5-12600HE supports a maximum of 64 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s enabled.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 has a TDP of --. The TDP of the Intel Core i5-12600HE is 45 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 has 0.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 8 nm. The cache of Intel Core i5-12600HE is at 27.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
