Core i5-9500T vs Core Ultra 5 225 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core Ultra 5 225 performs better than the Core i5-9500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9500T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core Ultra 5 225 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-9500T. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 225 has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9500T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9500T. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 5 225 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9500T. Also, the Core Ultra 5 225 has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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. For instance, the Core i5-9500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
