Core i5-8500T vs Core i5-1145G7 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1145G7 beats the Core i5-8500T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-8500T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-1145G7 has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i5-1145G7 has more threads than the Core i5-8500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-1145G7 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Core i5-1145G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1145G7 outputs less heat than Core i5-8500T thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-8500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
