Intel Core i5-12500H vs Intel Core Ultra 7 155U

Core i5-12500H vs Core Ultra 7 155U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12500H beats the Core Ultra 7 155U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 7 155U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-12500H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 155U. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 155U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 155U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 7 155U.

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 i5-12500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
