In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-13500T has slightly more cores than the Core Ultra 5 225. Indeed, the Core i5-13500T has 14 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Core Ultra 5 225. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 5 225. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 5 225 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13500T. Also, the Core Ultra 5 225 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 225 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-13500T. Despite this, the Core i5-13500T has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 5 225.

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. For instance, the Core Ultra 5 225 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
