The Intel Core i5-10500H is a fast processor for laptops with six cores based on the Comet Lake-H series (4th generation of Skylake architecture). The processor clocks at between 2.5 and 4.5 GHz and can execute up to twelve threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. According to Intel, the CPU is manufactured on a 14nm (14nm++) process.
The Comet Lake architecture is similar to Coffee Lake and offers the same features and is produced on the same 14nm process. Other than the improved clock rates, the memory controller now also supports faster DDR4-2933 RAM. More information on Comet Lake and all the models and articles on it can be found here.
Performance
The average 10500H in our database matches the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, a noticeably less power-hungry processor, in multi-thread performance making the i5 a somewhat underwhelming option as far as H-class processors go.
Your mileage may vary depending on how competent the cooling solution of your system is, and how high the CPU power limits are.
Graphics
The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 iGPU is supposed to offer a similar performance as the UHD630 in the Core i5-9300H. As a low-end solution it will probably only run current games smoothly at reduced details - if at all.
Power consumption
This Core i5 series chip has a default TDP, also known as the long-term power limit, of 45 W. Laptop makers are free to reduce that value slightly, 35 W being the minimum Intel-recommended value, resulting in lower clock speed and lower performance. Either way, an active cooling solution will still be needed to dissipate the heat.
The i5-10500H is built with one of the old 14 nm Intel processes for low, as of mid 2023, energy efficiency.
The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS is a processor for big (gaming) laptops based of the Rembrandt Refresh generation. The R5 7535HS integrates six of the eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 3.3 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.55 GHz (boost) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (12 threads). The 7535HS is a refresh of the old Ryzen 5 6600HS / 6600H with 50 MHz higher boost clock speed.
The Zen 3+ architecture is a refresh of Zen 3 and should not offer a lot of changes. The chip itself however, offers some modern features, like support for USB 4 (40 Gbps), PCI-E Gen 4 and DDR5-4800MT/s or LPDDR5-6400MT/s.
In the 6000 series, AMD switched to the RDNA 2 graphics architecture for the iGPU. As the 6600HS the 7535HS only offers the slower Radeon 660M with 6 of the 12 CUs enabled and 1.9 GHz max. clock rate.
The TDP of the APU is specified from 35 to 54 Watt. The monolithic chip is manufactured in 6nm at TSMC.
