Core Ultra 5 125U vs Core Ultra 5 135U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core Ultra 5 135U is faster than the Core Ultra 5 125U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 5 125U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 125U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 5 135U. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 135U has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 Ultra 5 125U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
