Core i5-11260H vs Ryzen 5 7235HS specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11260H beats the Ryzen 5 7235HS in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7235HS has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-11260H has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7235HS that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7235HS. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7235HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11260H. Despite this, the Core i5-11260H has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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.

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 i5-11260H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
