Core Ultra 7 258V vs Core Ultra 7 255H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core Ultra 7 258V is faster than the Core Ultra 7 255H. 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 Core Ultra 7 258V that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 7 258V. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 7 258V 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 Core Ultra 7 258V. The Core Ultra 7 255H also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core Ultra 7 258V has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
