Performance comparison: which is faster?
Core i5-1335U (Intel, 2023) and Atom x7-Z8750 (Intel, 2016) are compared here. Compare not only scores, but also whether the motherboard can be reused and which GPU class is balanced with each CPU.
Overall performance: i5-1335U is about 650% faster
Both use the same BGA socket, so they can be installed on the same motherboard. For games, performance balance with the GPU (guideline CPU:GPU = 0.9:1) matters more than CPU speed alone.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual speed varies by workload, cooling, and memory configuration.
| Item | i5-1335U | Atom x7-Z8750 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 15,000 | 2,000 |
| Generation | 13th Gen | Atom |
| Socket | BGA | BGA |
| Release Year | 2023 | 2016 |
| Type | Laptop | Laptop |
| Compatible GPU Example | GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU | GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU |
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize maximum speed for heavy work or a high-end GPU | i5-1335U |
| Upgrade while reusing the current motherboard | Either works (same BGA socket) |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | Atom x7-Z8750 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
i5-1335U is about 650% higher by score (i5-1335U: 15000 points / Atom x7-Z8750: 2000 points). For gaming, the GPU tier usually matters more than a few percent of CPU difference. For CPU-heavy work such as video editing and streaming, choose the faster CPU.
i5-1335U is 13th Gen, while Atom x7-Z8750 is Atom.Both use the same BGA socket, so they can be installed on the same motherboard.
Using our CPU:GPU = 0.9:1 guideline, GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU pairs well with i5-1335U and GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU pairs well with Atom x7-Z8750. If either GPU is too strong or too weak, one part holds the other back.
