Core i3-1215U vs Ryzen 5 7235HS comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7235HS performs better than the Core i3-1215U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1215U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7235HS that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7235HS has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-1215U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7235HS CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 7235HS. The Core i3-1215U also has slightly more 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 i3-1215U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
