Intel Core i5-8259U vs Intel Core i5-1035G1

Core i5-8259U vs Core i5-1035G1 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8259U performs better than the Core i5-1035G1. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1035G1 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-8259U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1035G1. Also, the Core i5-8259U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1035G1 outputs less heat than Core i5-8259U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

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 i5-8259U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
