Core i5-1235U vs Ryzen AI 5 340 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen AI 5 340 performs better 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 Ryzen AI 5 340. Indeed, the Core i5-1235U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen AI 5 340. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen AI 5 340 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Also, the Ryzen AI 5 340 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1235U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen AI 5 340 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 AI 5 340 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-1235U. The Ryzen AI 5 340 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.
