Intel Core 7 150U vs Intel Core Ultra 5 135U

Core 7 150U vs Core Ultra 5 135U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core Ultra 5 135U beats the Core 7 150U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 7 150U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 5 135U has slightly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core 7 150U that has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 7 150U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core Ultra 5 135U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 7 150U. Despite this, the Core 7 150U has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 5 135U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core 7 150U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core 7 150U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
