Intel Core i5-1035G1 vs Intel Core i7-975

Core i5-1035G1 vs Core i7-975 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1035G1 beats the Core i7-975 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-975 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-975 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1035G1. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-1035G1 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-975 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-1035G1 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
