Intel Core i5-1235U vs Intel Core i5-1240P

Core i5-1235U vs Core i5-1240P comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1240P is faster than the Core i5-1235U. Despite this, the Core i5-1235U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1240P has slightly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i5-1235U that has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-1235U. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-1240P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-1235U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-1240P CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-1235U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-1235U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
