Intel Core i5-10500H vs Intel Core i7-1355U

Core i5-10500H vs Core i7-1355U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10500H performs better than the Core i7-1355U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1355U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1355U 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-10500H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1355U. Despite this, the Core i7-1355U has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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.
