Intel Core i5-11500H vs Intel Core Ultra 7 268V

Core i5-11500H vs Core Ultra 7 268V comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core Ultra 7 268V is faster than the Core i5-11500H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11500H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 7 268V has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11500H that has 6 cores. Despite this, the Core i5-11500H has more threads than the Core Ultra 7 268V. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 268V.

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