Intel Core i5-10200H vs Intel Core i3-1215U

Core i5-10200H vs Core i3-1215U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-1215U performs better than the Core i5-10200H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10200H 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 Core i5-10200H that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-10200H has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1215U outputs less heat than Core i5-10200H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10200H. The Core i3-1215U also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-10200H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
