Intel Core i7-10875H vs Intel Core i5-13500

Core i7-10875H vs Core i5-13500 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-13500 is faster than the Core i7-10875H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10875H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-13500 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core i7-10875H that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10875H. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-13500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10875H. Despite this, the Core i7-10875H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-13500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-10875H. The Core i5-13500 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-10875H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
