Intel Core i5-1235U vs AMD Ryzen 5 6600H

Core i5-1235U vs Ryzen 5 6600H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 6600H 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1235U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 6600H that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 6600H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Also, the Ryzen 5 6600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1235U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 6600H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 6600H has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-1235U. The Ryzen 5 6600H also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-1235U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
