Core i5-10600 vs Core i5-1240P specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1240P performs better than the Core i5-10600. Despite this, the Core i5-10600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i5-10600 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Also, the Core i5-10600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Core i5-10600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-10600. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-10600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
