Intel Core i5-11500 vs Intel Core i5-1335U

Core i5-11500 vs Core i5-1335U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11500 beats the Core i5-1335U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1335U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1335U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i5-11500 that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1335U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds.

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 i5-11500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
