Core Ultra 5 135U vs Core 5 210H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 5 210H is faster than the Core Ultra 5 135U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 5 135U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 5 135U has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core 5 210H that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 5 210H. Our comparison shows that the Core 5 210H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 5 135U. Also, the Core 5 210H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 135U has many more L2 cache than the Core 5 210H. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 135U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
