Intel Core i5-2300 vs Intel Core Ultra 5 225H

Core i5-2300 vs Core Ultra 5 225H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core Ultra 5 225H beats the Core i5-2300 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2300 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 5 225H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core i5-2300 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2300. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-2300 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core Ultra 5 225H. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 225H has a significantly higher turbo speed.

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. For instance, the Core i5-2300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
