Intel Core i5-1135G7 vs Intel Core i3-N305

Core i5-1135G7 vs Core i3-N305 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-N305 beats the Core i5-1135G7 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1135G7 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-1135G7. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-1135G7. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-1135G7 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305.

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 i5-1135G7 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
