Bah! I totally forgot that they have the new “efficiency” cores…
Performance Cores: 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 2.5 GHz Base, 4.8 GHz Turbo
Efficient Cores: 8 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.8 GHz Base, 3.5 GHz Turbo
Hmmm, I’d still say its totally worth it because the 12500 only has 6 core (12 threads) total. You are getting 8 extra core/threads.
Linux/docker/anyOS will make use of 8 extra cores regardless of the workload. Sure they might not be as performent on the lower end but a process running 12 threads vs a process running 20 threads will always be more performant.
