Intel Core i7-7500U vs Intel Core i7-1265U

Core i7-7500U vs Core i7-1265U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1265U is faster than the Core i7-7500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7500U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1265U has significantly more cores than the Core i7-7500U. Indeed, the Core i7-1265U has 10 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-7500U. It also has more threads than the Core i7-7500U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-7500U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-7500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
