Core i5-7200U vs Core i5-1235U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1235U is faster than the Core i5-7200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7200U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-1235U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i5-7200U has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7200U. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7200U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Despite this, the Core i5-1235U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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. Indeed, the Core i5-7200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
