Core i5-10200H vs Core i7-1260U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10200H is faster than the Core i7-1260U. Despite this, the Core i7-1260U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1260U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i5-10200H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10200H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10200H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260U. Despite this, the Core i7-1260U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260U 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 info from our database shows that the Core i7-1260U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-10200H. The Core i7-1260U 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. Indeed, the Core i5-10200H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
