Core i5-1235U vs Ryzen 7 8845HS comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 8845HS 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 slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 8845HS that has 8 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has more threads than the Core i5-1235U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Also, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1235U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 8845HS 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 Ryzen 7 8845HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-1235U. The Ryzen 7 8845HS 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.
