Intel Core i5-10505 vs Intel Core i7-1365U

Core i5-10505 vs Core i7-1365U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10505 performs better than the Core i7-1365U. Despite this, the Core i7-1365U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1365U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-10505. Indeed, the Core i7-1365U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-10505. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-10505 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1365U. Despite this, the Core i7-1365U has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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.
