Core i5-1235U vs Core i7-11600H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11600H is faster than the Core i5-1235U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1235U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1235U has significantly more cores than the Core i7-11600H. Indeed, the Core i5-1235U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-11600H. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-11600H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Also, the Core i7-11600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-11600H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-1235U. The Core i7-11600H also has significantly more 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.
