Ryzen 7 5700U vs Core i5-1240P specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1240P performs better than the Ryzen 7 5700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5700U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 5700U that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-1240P CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-1240P has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5700U. The Core i5-1240P 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
