Ryzen 7 5700U vs Core i7-1270P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-1270P 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1270P 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-1270P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700U. Also, the Core i7-1270P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-1270P 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 i7-1270P has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5700U. The Core i7-1270P 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.
