Core i7-1270P vs Core Ultra 5 135U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1270P is faster than the Core Ultra 5 135U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 5 135U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-1270P has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 5 135U. Also, the Core i7-1270P has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 5 135U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 5 135U.

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 i7-1270P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
