Core i5-2300 vs Core Ultra 7 155H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core Ultra 7 155H is faster than the Core i5-2300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2300 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core Ultra 7 155H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-2300. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 155H has 16 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-2300. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2300. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-2300 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 155H. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 155H has a significantly higher turbo speed.

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