Core i5-10500H vs Core i7-1265U comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1265U performs better than the Core i5-10500H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10500H in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1265U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-10500H. Indeed, the Core i7-1265U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-10500H. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-10500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1265U outputs less heat than Core i5-10500H 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 i5-10500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
