Core 7 150U vs Core 5 120U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 5 120U is faster than the Core 7 150U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 7 150U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 7 150U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 5 120U. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core 7 150U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
