Intel Core i5-1235U vs AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS

Core i5-1235U vs Ryzen 5 7235HS comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7235HS beats the Core i5-1235U in overall performance. 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 7235HS that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7235HS. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7235HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Despite this, the Core i5-1235U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1235U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7235HS 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 Core i5-1235U has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 7235HS. The Core i5-1235U 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.
