Core i5-6500T vs Core i5-8265U specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8265U performs better than the Core i5-6500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6500T in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-8265U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6500T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-8265U outputs less heat than Core i5-6500T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-6500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
