AMD Z-01 vs Intel Core i5-1235UL

In this CPU comparison, we compare the AMD Z-01 and the Intel Core i5-1235UL and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the AMD Z-01 2 core processor released in Q2/2011 with the Intel Core i5-1235UL which has 10 CPU cores and was introduced in Q3/2022.

The AMD Z-01 is a 2 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.00 GHz. The processor can compute 2 threads at the same time. The Intel Core i5-1235UL clocks with 2.50 GHz (4.40 GHz), has 10 CPU cores and can calculate 12 threads in parallel.

The performance values of the processor's AI unit. The isolated NPU performance is specified here, the total AI performance (NPU+CPU+iGPU) can be higher. Processors with support for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to GB of memory in a maximum of 1 memory channels is supported by the AMD Z-01, while the Intel Core i5-1235UL supports a maximum of 64 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s enabled.

The AMD Z-01 has a TDP of 6 W. The TDP of the Intel Core i5-1235UL is 15 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD Z-01 has 1.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 40 nm. The cache of Intel Core i5-1235UL is at 18.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
