Hi, I have a question. How good is an i5-8265U relative to an i5-2500 and i7-4720HQ (these were the CPUs for my older desktop and gaming laptop which I replaced 2-3 years ago). A member of my family recently replaced his laptop and gave me his older model, an Asus Vivobook with i5-8265U. I was wondering how does it stack against my own older cpus i5-2500 and i7-4720HQ, because passmark says it is better (i5-8265 scores 6000 points versus 5700 of i7-4720HQ and 4000 of i5-2500), but, after utilizing for a while, I have my doubts, because i5-8265U seems slower especially when multitasking.
All of them are 4 core, but i5-8265u has a lower base speed, 1.60 Ghz, than the other twos. Does that matter much?
