Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 125U has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i3-N305. It also has more threads than the Core i3-N305. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 125U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Also, the Core Ultra 5 125U has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 5 125U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-N305. The Core Ultra 5 125U also has significantly 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. For instance, the Core i3-N305 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
