Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U vs Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7: Comparison

10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U vs 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7 p-core boost clock compared

They are built to different briefs, and p-core boost clock shows it, 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U 4.2 GHz against 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7 3.7 GHz. Add l2 cache to that, 1 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U versus 2 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7, and the pattern holds. They differ on igpu model too, Intel UHD Graphics 620 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U versus Intel UHD Graphics G7 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7. They differ on igpu compute units too, 24 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U versus 64 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7.

Which should you buy, 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U or 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7?

The 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U is the one to take for mainstream thin-and-light laptops focused on everyday productivity and battery life. It is the wrong buy for buyers needing strong multi-threaded performance, H-series chips of the same generation offer meaningfully more throughput. Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7 for mid-range laptops wanting a balance of CPU multi-threading and stronger integrated graphics than entry-level Ice Lake chips. It is not the one for buyers wanting the absolute strongest integrated graphics of the Ice Lake generation, dedicated Iris Plus configurations on select SKUs pushed further.

What 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U and 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7 have in common

Where they agree, they agree completely, total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and tdp included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 11 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U and 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7 differ on p-core base clock?

Yes. P-Core Base Clock reads 1.6 GHz on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U versus 1.2 GHz on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7.

Is the L3 Cache the same on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10210U and 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7?

It is. Both are listed at 6 MB, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
