Core i5-1335U: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The Intel Core i5-1335U is the 15-watt workhorse of Intel's 13th-generation ultrabook line — a 10-core Raptor Lake-U design built for thin business portables rather than gaming rigs. The catalog matches it to 106 models, and it meets the recommended CPU requirement in 17 of the 69 games the site tracks. This guide covers where the chip sits among laptop CPUs, what it brings to a portable, and which laptops carry it.

Where the Core i5-1335U sits in 2026

A catalog score of 47.7 places the chip 278th of 672 scored laptop CPUs — the middle of a table that spans two decades of silicon. The neighborhood is dominated by its own family: the Core i7-6820HQ (47.8), Core i5-8305G (47.8) and Core i7-1355U (47.7) just above, the Core i5-1240U (47.7), Core i5-1345U (47.7) and Core i7-1365U (47.4) just below. Four of the six neighbors are U-series siblings separated by hundredths of a point — the score rewards sustained throughput, and a 15-watt design trades exactly that away for efficiency. The rank describes the chip's ceiling, not its purpose.

What the chip brings

Raptor Lake-U is a 10-core, 12-thread design built on a 7 nm-class process and rated at 15 W in its U-class configuration: a 1.3 GHz base clock and up to 4.6 GHz boost. The integrated Iris Xe graphics with 80 execution units runs at up to 1,250 MHz — the primary graphics for nearly every machine in this roster. Memory support was not captured for this chip, so the table above sticks to what the catalog verifiably holds: a PassMark overall score of 13,898.

Games: CPU-side readiness

Measured purely as a processor, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for 17 of 69 cataloged games — God of War, Hitman 3, Grand Theft Auto V, Overwatch, Forza Horizon 4 and Control among them. Another 44 sit at the minimum tier, a list long enough to include Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Hogwarts Legacy, Minecraft, Valorant and even Doom Eternal and Death Stranding. Eight games fall below the minimum CPU mark: Starfield, Helldivers 2, Call of Duty: Warzone, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Apex Legends, Fortnite and Resident Evil 4 Remake. These verdicts are CPU-only — whether a game actually plays well depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, but on this chip the CPU itself is the frequent limit in modern titles.

Laptops that carry it

The 106-model roster is a business-portable parade. Dell Latitude machines run from the 5440 at $509 and 5540 at $524 through the 3450 at $536 to the 7440 at $532; HP's EliteBook 840 G10 at $471, EliteBook 860 G10 at $712 and ProBook 450 G10 at $609 cover the corporate side; the Elite x360 830 G10 at $470 and Envy x360 15-fe1073cl at $750 add convertibles; and the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 and Dell Inspiron 13 5330 at $1,084 each plus the HP Pavilion SE 14 at $650 round out the consumer end. Roster medians describe the fleet honestly: office comfort at a perfect 100, energy efficiency at 88, mobility at 76.5 and portability at 69.4 — genuine travel machines — while a gaming index of 25 and a performance index of 46.4 confirm these are integrated-graphics office laptops first.

Bottom line

The Core i5-1335U is the right chip on the wrong spec sheet for gaming: a mid-table rank, recommended-tier readiness for only 17 of 69 tracked games, and a fleet built for battery life rather than frame rates. As the processor inside a used business ultrabook it is exactly enough — modern architecture, a perfect office-comfort fleet median and $470-$750 price points on well-built machines — and 106 matched models make selection easy. Buyers who want to game should look at H-class chips instead; buyers who want a light, efficient daily laptop get their pick of a deep roster.
