Core i7-8850H vs Core i7-1265U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8850H beats the Core i7-1265U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1265U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-1265U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i7-8850H has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-8850H has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1265U outputs less heat than Core i7-8850H 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 i7-1265U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8850H. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i7-8850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
