[Comparison] Intel Core i5-1240P vs Intel Core i5-1135G7 – All in on the CPU gains, while GPU performance is stagnating
The Core i5-1135G7 was a best seller for 2021, offering snappy performance in many laptops, while also coming at a relatively affordable cost. In 2022, Intel made a big shift with their processors, giving us three TDP tiers: U-series at 15W, P-series at 28W, and H-series at 45W.
However, manufacturers can play with them and squeeze out a lot of performance by increasing the wattage. The Core i5-1240P looks like a great deal P-series CPU with 12 cores. It has the potential to be a best-seller, similar to the Core i5-1135G7.
Here is our Top Laptop CPU Ranking, which has the best laptop CPUs in a list, based on performance.

CPU benchmarks
The Alder Lake CPU is 79% more powerful in 3D Rendering while being nearly two and a half seconds quicker in Photoshop.
Az eredmények a Cinebench R23 CPU tesztből származnak (minél magasabb a pontszám, annál jobb)
GPU benchmarks
Things are looking pretty good on the GPU end, with the Core i5-1135G7 being able to catch up to the newer CPU. The 2022 processor is only 0.1% quicker in 3DMark Fire Strike and 1% faster in Unigine Superposition.
Az eredmények a 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics) tesztből származnak. A magasabb érték a jobb.
Az eredmények a 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmarkból származnak (minél magasabb a pontszám, annál jobb).
Az eredmények a 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited tesztből származnak. A magasabb érték a jobb.
Az eredmények az Unigine Superposition benchmarkból származnak (minél magasabb a pontszám, annál jobb).
