Intel Core i5-1345U vs Intel Core 5 120U

Core i5-1345U vs Core 5 120U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 5 120U is faster than the Core i5-1345U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1345U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-1345U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 5 120U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-1345U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-1345U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
