Core i5-13500H vs Core 7 240H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-13500H performs better than the Core 7 240H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 7 240H in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-13500H has slightly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Core 7 240H has 10 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-13500H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 7 240H. Despite this, the Core 7 240H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 7 240H has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-13500H. The Core 7 240H 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 i5-13500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
