Intel Core i7-10610U vs Intel Core i7-1265U

Core i7-10610U vs Core i7-1265U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-1265U beats the Core i7-10610U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10610U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1265U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-10610U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10610U. Both the Core i7-10610U and Core i7-1265U have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-10610U 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. In terms of cache, the Core i7-1265U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10610U. The Core i7-1265U also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-10610U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
