Intel Core i7-1260P vs Intel Core i5-1245U

Core i7-1260P vs Core i5-1245U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1260P is faster than the Core i5-1245U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1245U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-1260P has slightly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Core i5-1245U has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-1245U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1245U. Also, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1245U outputs less heat than Core i7-1260P thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-1245U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1245U.

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 i7-1260P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
