Intel Core i7-1265U vs Intel Core i5-9300HF

Core i7-1265U vs Core i5-9300HF comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1265U is faster than the Core i5-9300HF. Despite this, the Core i5-9300HF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i5-9300HF that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9300HF. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9300HF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-1265U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9300HF CPU because of its 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 i7-1265U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9300HF. 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 i7-1265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
