Intel Core i5-8265U vs Intel Core i5-8365U

Core i5-8265U vs Core i5-8365U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8365U beats the Core i5-8265U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8265U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i5-8265U and Core i5-8365U have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-8365U 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 i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
