Core i5-11600K vs Core Ultra 7 258V comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11600K is faster than the Core Ultra 7 258V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 258V has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core Ultra 7 258V has slightly more cores than the Core i5-11600K. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 258V has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11600K. Despite this, the Core i5-11600K has more threads than the Core Ultra 7 258V. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-11600K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core Ultra 7 258V. Also, the Core i5-11600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 7 258V has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-11600K. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i5-11600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
