Core i3-5005U vs Core i5-1235U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1235U is faster than the Core i3-5005U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-5005U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1235U has significantly more cores than the Core i3-5005U. Indeed, the Core i5-1235U has 10 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-5005U. It also has more threads than the Core i3-5005U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-5005U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-1235U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-5005U. The Core i5-1235U also has significantly more 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 i3-5005U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
