Core Ultra 7 258V vs Core Ultra 7 256V comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core Ultra 7 258V beats the Core Ultra 7 256V in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 7 256V in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core Ultra 7 258V and Core Ultra 7 256V have the same clock speed. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and 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.
