Core Ultra 5 235T vs Core i5-13500T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core Ultra 5 235T beats the Core i5-13500T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-13500T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-13500T has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 235T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13500T. The info from our database shows that the Core Ultra 5 235T has more L2 cache than the Core i5-13500T. 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. For instance, the Core Ultra 5 235T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
