Intel Core i5-1145G7 vs Intel Core i3-1220P

Core i5-1145G7 vs Core i3-1220P comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1220P beats the Core i5-1145G7 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1145G7 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1220P has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i5-1145G7 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-1145G7. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-1145G7 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1220P. In addition, both chips have the same 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 i5-1145G7 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
