Intel Core i5-8279U vs Intel Core i5-8365U

Core i5-8279U vs Core i5-8365U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8279U is faster than the Core i5-8365U. Despite this, the Core i5-8365U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8279U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8365U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i5-8365U outputs less heat than Core i5-8279U 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8279U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
