Ryzen 7 5700U vs Core i7-1260P benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-1260P beats the Ryzen 7 5700U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5700U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-1260P has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Ryzen 7 5700U has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5700U. Also, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-1260P CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7-1260P also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
