Intel Core i5-8259U vs Intel Core i5-1035G4

Core i5-8259U vs Core i5-1035G4 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1035G4 is faster than the Core i5-8259U. Despite this, the Core i5-8259U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8259U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1035G4. Also, the Core i5-8259U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1035G4 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache 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.
