Core i5-10500 vs Core i5-11260H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11260H is faster than the Core i5-10500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10500 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-10500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11260H. Also, the Core i5-10500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11260H outputs less heat than Core i5-10500 thanks to a 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 i5-10500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
