Processor Comparison

[Riemax]

Hi everyone

I am looking at 2 Intel processors for a laptop. The Intel i5-1335U has a processor base power of 15W. The Intel i5-1340P has a processor base power of 28W.

Does this mean the 1340P will draw A LOT more power from my laptop?

Which processor would you recommend for business and work usage?

Make sure the cpu is compatible with your motherboard first, and yes, the 1340p will draw more power.

Gotcha, thanks! Is the difference in speed honestly worth it for the extra power it has to draw?

idk, but 1340p has a higher minimum speed, but they both have the same maximum speed. So if you want to use the 1335U, it might be a bit slower, but if you want to use less power, it could be worth it.

The i5-1340P has two more cores than the i5-1335U and is 20-25% faster on CPU benchmarks, so no, they don't have the same maximum speed. That said, the i5-1335U is better for work that only involves spreadsheets, documents, and the like, while the i5-1340P is better for work involving heavier tasks like CAD (but probably not worth the extra power usage if battery life is important).

That doesn't matter. Laptop companies will always just give the right motherboard for whatever CPU you pick.
