Intel Core 5 210H vs Intel Core 9 270H
Intel Core 5 210H
► remove from comparison
The Intel Core 5 210H is a mid-range mobile CPU for laptops of the Raptor Lake-H series (Alder Lake architecture). It was announced in late 2024 and offers 4 of the 6 performance cores possible (P-cores, Golden Cove architecture) and 4 of the 8 efficient cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores support Hyper-Threading making for 12 processing threads when combined with the E-cores. The clock rates range from 2.2 to 4.8 GHz (single core boost) on the performance cluster and 1.6 to 3.6 GHz on the efficient cluster. The performance of the E-cores should be similar to old Skylake cores (comparable to the Core i7-6700HQ). All cores have access to the 12 MB L3 cache.
Compared to the old Core i5-13420H, the Core 5 210H offers slightly higher clock speeds (e.g. boost core speeds + 200 MHz).
Performance
Thanks to the higher clock speeds, the Core 5 210H can surpass the old Core i5-13420H, especially in single threaded workloads.
Features
The integrated memory controller supports various memory types up to DDR5-5200 (up from DDR5-4800 of the i5-12500H). The Thread Director (in hardware) can help the operating system to decide which thread to use on the performance or efficient cores for the best performance. For AI tasks, the CPU also integrates GNA 3.0 and DL Boost (via AVX2). Quick Sync in version 8 is the same as in the Rocket Lake CPUs and supports MPEG-2, AVC, VC-1 decode, JPEG, VP8 decode, VP9, HEVC, and AV1 decode in hardware. The CPU now supports PCIe 5.0 x8 for a GPU and two PCIe 4.0 x4 for SSDs.
The integrated graphics adapter is based on the Xe architecture and offers 48 of the 96 EUs (Execution Units) possible.
The CPU is rated at 45 W base power (115 W PL2) but most laptops will use a PL1 of around 60 Watt. The SoC is manufactured on an improved 10nm process at Intel, which is known as Intel 7.
Intel Core 9 270H
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Core 9 270H is a high-end mobile CPU for laptops based on the Raptor Lake-H series (Alder Lake architecture). It was announced in late 2024 and offers 6 performance cores (P-cores, Golden Cove architecture) and 8 efficient cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores support Hyper-Threading for 20 threads when combined with the E-cores. The clock rates range from 2.7 to 5.8 GHz (single core turbo) on the performance cluster and 2 to 4.1 GHz on the efficiency cluster. The performance of the E-cores should be similar to old Skylake cores (comparable with the Core i7-6920HQ). All cores can use up to 24 MB L3 cache.
Compared to the pre-refresh top model, the Core i9-13900H, the Core 9 270H offers a 400 MHz higher Turbo clock speed and supports slightly faster DDR5-5600 RAM.
Performance
The average Core 9 270H should be slightly faster than a Core i9-13900H thanks to the higher Turbo clock speed. Especially single core workloads can profit from the higher frequency. Supplied with ample cooling and TDP, the Core 9 270H should be sufficient even for very demanding tasks.
Features
The integrated memory controller supports various memory types up to DDR5-5600 (up from 5200 MHz for the 13th gen). The Thread Director (in hardware) can support the operating system to decide which thread to use on the performance or efficient cores for the best performance. For AI tasks, the CPU also integrates GNA 3.0 and DL Boost (via AVX2). Quick Sync in version 8 is the same as in the Rocket Lake CPUs and supports MPEG-2, AVC, VC-1 decode, JPEG, VP8 decode, VP9, HEVC, and AV1 decode in hardware. The CPU now supports PCIe 5.0 x8 for a GPU and two PCIe 4.0 x4 for SSDs.
The integrated graphics adapter is based on the Xe architecture and offers 96 EUs (Execution Units) that are clocked at up to 1.55 GHz.
The CPU is rated at 45 W base power (115 W PL2) but most laptops will use a PL1 of around 60 Watt. The SoC is manufactured on an improved 10nm process at Intel, which is known as Intel 7.
