Pros And Cons

Core i5-1335U Vs Core i5-1235U – Comparison Table

Architectural Differences

Here’s a look at the few minor differences between the two chips.

1. Processing Nodes: Although both CPUs use the same nodes, Intel has emphasized improved efficiency in Raptor Lake.
2. Clock Speeds: The Core i5-1335U boasts slightly higher boost clock speeds at 4.6GHz for the P-cores and 3.4GHz for the E-cores. In comparison, the Core i5-1235U clocks 4.4GHz for the E-cores and 3.3GHz for the E-cores on boost mode.
3. Memory Support: The Core i5-1335U, with its Raptor Lake platform, supports an improved DDR5 transfer speed of up to 6400 MT/s. LPDDR5x support is also added, which the Alder Lake Core i5-1235U does not support.
4. iGPU: Another insignificant difference, but the Core i5-1335U adds 50MHz to the GPU boost clock frequency at 1250MHz. 

Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs promised 41% better multi-threaded performance and a 15% improvement in single-threaded performance. Today, we will see if these figures hold any weight as we compare two Core i5 CPUs one generation apart, in Core i5-1335U vs Core i5-1235U.

Core i5-1335U Vs Core i5-1235U – Benchmarks

Here’s how the two CPUs compare in multi-core and single-core performance.

Cinebench R23

• Starting with the Cinebench R23 multi-core test, we analyze that the Core i5-1335U scores 7348 points compared to 6547 of the Core i5-1235U. Thus, it’s 12.2% ahead.
• In the single-core test, the Core i5-1335U leads narrowly with 1712 points, over 1630 of the Core i5-1235U. 

Geekbench 5

• Moving on to Geekbench 5, the Core i5-1335U has a 19.8% lead here with 7484 points. The Core i5-1235U scored 6343 points.
• As for the single-core test, the Core i5-1335U continues its lead with 1693 points, just ahead of the Core i5-1235U. 

Passmark

• Finally, in our Passmark test, the Core i5-1335U maintained impressive multi-core performance with 16895 points. The Core i5-1235U fell short with 13567 points.
• The single-core test saw the Core i5-1335U scoring 3451 points compared to 3299 of the Core i5-1235U. Here, the Core i5-1335U has a 4.6% lead.

Overall Performance

I’ve averaged the multi-core and single-core scores across the three games for a more definitive result. Let’s take a look. 

• Multi-core Performance: The Core i5-1335U averaged 10575 points, while the Core i5-1235U recorded 8785 points on average. This means the Core i5-1335U is, on average, 20.3% faster than the Core i5-1235U in multi-core applications.
• Single-core Performance: Across the single-core tests, the Core i5-1335U averaged 2285 points over 2168 points of the Core i5-1235U. Thus, on average, the Core i5-1335U shows 5.3% better single-core performance than the Core i5-1235U.

Core i5-1335U Vs Core i5-1235U – Which One We Recommend? 

Intel Core i5 1235U: In our search, we found a Core i5-1235U laptop available for as low as $289, marking a notable 124% reduction compared to the least expensive Core i5-1335U laptop. Despite the Core i5-1335U’s superior multi-core and single-core performance scores, the significant price difference outweighs this performance disparity.

Intel Core i5 1335U: In our assessment, we found that the Core i5-1335U is essentially a refresh of the Core i5-1235U with only minor differences. It achieved a notable improvement in multi-core performance. Overall, it represents a decent improvement for one generation; however, given the price difference, it’s simply not worth it.

We recommend the Intel Core i5 1235U as the Core i5-1235U offers a much better value than the Core i5-1335U. As such, there isn’t a very big performance gap, especially in single-core performance. On top of that, Core i5-1235U laptops have been much cheaper since Raptor Lake’s launch.
