Core 5 205H moves ahead of Core i5 13420H in first PassMark sample
A first PassMark entry puts the Core 5 205H 15.7% ahead of the Core i5 13420H in multi-thread and 10.5% ahead in single-thread.
| Intel Core 5 205H | Core i5 13420H | |
|---|---|---|
| cores | 8 | 8 |
| threads | 12 | 12 |
| turbo | 4.8 GHz | 4.6 GHz |
| CPU Mark multithread | 19,390 | 16,751 |
| CPU Mark single | 3,699 |
The listing records 19,390 multi-thread points and 3,699 single-thread points. Wccftech credits @x86deadandback for spotting it.
The chip has 8 cores, 12 threads, a 4.8 GHz turbo clock, and a 45W default TDP. It has no integrated graphics, which matters for mobile boards that must carry a discrete GPU.
PassMark lists subscores as well, including 62,423 MOps/Sec for integer math, 45,165 MOps/Sec for floating point math, and 226,373 KBytes/Sec for data compression. PassMark places the chip 1,086th in multithreading and 432nd in single threading among 6,050 CPUs, and the sample margin is flagged as high.
The gap reads as a tuning result, not a new architecture. The Core 5 205H keeps the same eight-core, twelve-thread shape as the Core i5 13420H, so the multi-thread advantage comes from clocks and implementation, not from extra silicon.
The rest of the system is missing. Power draw, thermal behavior, memory configuration, and the Core i5 13420H single-thread score are not stated.
Those figures are absent, so the PassMark mark remains a first sample rather than a full performance map. The single-sample PassMark mark is a reference point, not a performance guarantee.
The number is useful for comparing refreshes, but weak as a platform claim.
After @x86deadandback. We did not report this. The pictures, if any, are theirs.
