Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G1 vs Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10500H: Comparison

10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G1 vs 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10500H: the l3 cache difference

On l3 cache the spread is 50%, 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G1 6 MB against 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10500H 12 MB, so 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10500H takes it. They differ on tdp too, 15 W on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G1 versus 45 W on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10500H. There is a split on socket as well, FCBGA1526 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G1 versus FCBGA1440 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10500H. 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G1 also leads on l2 cache, 2 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G1 versus 1.5 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10500H.

Who each one is for

Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G1 for mid-range thin-and-light and 2-in-1 laptops focused on everyday computing over graphics performance. It is the wrong buy for buyers wanting stronger integrated graphics, the G4 and G7 tier chips within the same Ice Lake generation offer meaningfully more. Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10500H for mainstream gaming laptops wanting solid 6-core Comet Lake performance at an accessible tier. Avoid it for buyers wanting maximum clock speed, the higher-tier i7 and i9 H-series chips of the same generation offer more.

Where the two are identical

The common ground is wider than the gap: efficiency cores, integrated graphics, product line, form factor and market segment are identical here. They match on 1 further specification as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G1 and 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10500H differ on total cores?
