Core i5-10500H vs Core 5 120U benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-10500H beats the Core 5 120U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core 5 120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 5 120U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-10500H. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-10500H. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10500H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 120U.
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 i5-10500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
