Core i5-10505 vs Core i5-11500 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11500 performs better than the Core i5-10505. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10505 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-10505 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11500. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i5-10505 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
