Core i5-10210U vs Core i5-8265U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10210U is faster than the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i5-10210U and Core i5-8265U are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i5-10210U has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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 i5-10210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
