Intel Core i7-1355U vs Intel Core i5-13420H

Core i7-1355U vs Core i5-13420H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-13420H is faster than the Core i7-1355U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1355U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1355U has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i5-13420H that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-13420H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1355U. Despite this, the Core i7-1355U has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core i5-13420H has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-1355U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-1355U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
