Intel Core i5-10500 vs Intel Core i5-1335U

Core i5-10500 vs Core i5-1335U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1335U beats the Core i5-10500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10500 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1335U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-10500. Indeed, the Core i5-1335U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-10500. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-10500 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1335U. Despite this, the Core i5-1335U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-1335U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10500. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
