Core i5-1350P: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The Intel Core i5-1350P was Raptor Lake's mid-tier P-series processor for premium business portables in 2023, and 22 matched models in the catalog carry it. Judged purely as a processor, it meets the recommended CPU requirement in 36 of the 69 games the catalog tracks. This guide covers where the chip ranks among laptop CPUs, what it brings, and which laptops were built around it.

Where the Core i5-1350P sits in 2026

A catalog score of 52.97 places the chip 233rd of 741 scored laptop CPUs — the middle of the table. The neighborhood: the Ryzen AI 5 435 (53.3), Xeon E3-1535M v5 (53.2) and Xeon E3-1535M v6 (53.2) just above, the Core i5-8257U (52.9), Core i5-1340P (52.8) and Core Ultra 5 236V (52.8) just below. Two neighbors tell the honest story: the chip sits within two tenths of a point of its own stablemate, the i5-1340P, and of the previous generation's i5-1250P territory below — the P-series mid-tier moved very little from one generation to the next, so buying this chip is about the laptop around it, not a performance leap.

What the chip brings

Raptor Lake-P gives the 1350P 12 cores and 16 threads in a 28 W envelope, with a 1.9 GHz base clock boosting to 4.7 GHz. The die is built on a 7 nm-class process, and integrated graphics are handled by the Iris Xe G7 with 80 execution units — adequate for display workloads and older titles, not a gaming engine. A PassMark overall score of 18,597 confirms the mid-range positioning: nearly identical to the previous generation's equivalent part.

Games: CPU-side readiness

Measured as a processor only, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for 36 of 69 cataloged games — including Dying Light 2, Far Cry 5, Escape from Tarkov, Flight Simulator 2020, Diablo 4, F1 24, Doom Eternal, Death Stranding, Grand Theft Auto V, God of War and Civilization 6. Another 26 titles sit at the minimum tier: Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, Counter-Strike 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, Metro Exodus, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3 all list the chip above their minimum but below their recommended CPU requirement. Seven demanding games — Starfield, Helldivers 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Fortnite, Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone — ask for more processor than this. These verdicts are CPU-only: actual playability depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, and this fleet runs on integrated Iris Xe graphics almost exclusively.

Laptops that carry it

The 22-model roster is a business-and-workstation lineup from 2023–2024. Dell's Latitude 5440, 5540 and 7440 occupy the $509–532 band, HP's EliteBook 840 G10 and 860 G10 run $471–712, and Lenovo's ThinkPad L14 Gen 4, T16 Gen 2 and T14 Gen 4 cover $447–779. The workstation corner is well represented: ZBook Firefly 14 G10 at $1,126, Firefly 16 G10 at $772, Precision 3480 at $755 and the ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 at $1,408 as the roster ceiling. The laptops built around it typically show a median office comfort score of a perfect 100, energy efficiency of 86.5 and portability of 69.05 — against a median gaming index of 46 but a best GPU score of just 15.83, a reminder that these are professional portables with integrated graphics.

Bottom line

The Core i5-1350P is a dependable, efficient business-laptop processor with a first-rate median office experience and good battery-friendly metrics — but it is not a generational step up, sitting within a fraction of a point of both its sibling and its predecessor in the same price logic. For a used 2023–2024 Latitude, EliteBook or ThinkPad it is a safe, cool-running heart that will handle work for years. Gaming ambitions should be modest: two thirds of the catalog exceeds its recommended CPU tier, and the machines around it carry integrated graphics anyway.
