Core i5-1235U vs Core 5 120U specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1235U beats the Core 5 120U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 5 120U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-1235U. 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 i5-1235U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
