Core i5-3550S vs Core i7-1065G7 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1065G7 is faster than the Core i5-3550S. Despite this, the Core i5-3550S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-1065G7 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3550S has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1065G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1065G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1065G7 outputs less heat than Core i5-3550S thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-3550S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
