Core Ultra 7 255H vs Ryzen 7 7735U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7735U beats the Core Ultra 7 255H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 7 255H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 7 255H has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 7735U that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 7735U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 255H. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 255H has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 7 255H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 7735U. The Core Ultra 7 255H also has significantly more 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 7 255H has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
