Intel Core i9-10885H vs Intel Core Ultra 5 125U

Core i9-10885H vs Core Ultra 5 125U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core Ultra 5 125U is faster than the Core i9-10885H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10885H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 5 125U has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i9-10885H that has 8 cores. Despite this, the Core i9-10885H has more threads than the Core Ultra 5 125U. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 5 125U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10885H. Despite this, the Core i9-10885H has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 i9-10885H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
