Core i5-10500H vs Core i5-1245U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10500H is faster than the Core i5-1245U. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1245U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i5-10500H that has 6 cores. 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 i5-1245U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-10500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
