Intel Core i5-10200H

The Intel Core i5-10200H is a mobile processor in the Core 10th Gen series, built on the Comet Lake-H architecture and Intel's 14 nm process. It has 4 cores and 8 threads with a 2.40 GHz base clock and a 4.10 GHz boost clock. The chip is packaged for the Intel BGA 1440 socket, supports DDR3 and DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with 46.9 GB/s bandwidth, and includes UHD Graphics. It was released on 2020-09-16 and is listed as Active. The average benchmark score is 2155, which places it at the 48th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The benchmark data shows a consistent split between single-thread and multi-thread results. In Cinebench R15, the processor scores 685 in multi-core and 96 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 2856 and the single-core score is 403. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 6800 and the single-core score is 960. In Geekbench, the multi-core score is 4096 and the single-core score is 1347.

This pattern is expected for a 4-core, 8-thread processor. Single-threaded workloads are limited to one core, while multi-threaded workloads can spread across all eight threads. The 4.10 GHz boost clock is the upper frequency listed for lightly threaded activity, so tasks that depend on a single core rely on that clock speed and the single-core performance scores. The multi-core scores matter more when the workload can use all available threads.

The cache hierarchy supports both modes. The processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 256 KB of L2 cache per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory bandwidth is listed at 46.9 GB/s, which feeds multi-threaded data movement. For real workloads, the split means that typical office and responsive desktop applications are better represented by the single-core numbers, while rendering, compilation, and other parallel work are better represented by the multi-core numbers.

How It Compares

The nearest-rival group is built around the average benchmark score of 2155. All four listed rivals are close, with deltaPct values ranging from -0.4 to +0.6.

The Intel Core i5-9400T has an average benchmark score of 2157. The deltaPct of -0.1 places the i5-10200H 0.1 percent behind. This is a negligible margin; in aggregate performance the two processors are effectively equivalent.

The Intel Core i5-7640X has an average benchmark score of 2161. The deltaPct of -0.3 places the i5-10200H 0.3 percent behind. The gap remains small, and the ordering between these two parts is within ordinary run-to-run variance.

The Intel Core i7-5950HQ has an average benchmark score of 2164, the highest average among the nearest rivals. The deltaPct of -0.4 places the i5-10200H 0.4 percent behind. This is the largest deficit in the Intel rival set, but it is still a tight margin.

The AMD Ryzen 5 2400G has an average benchmark score of 2143. The deltaPct of 0.6 means the i5-10200H scores 0.6 percent higher. This is the only positive delta in the nearest-rival group, so the i5-10200H leads one rival and trails three others, all by less than half of one percent except for the 0.6 percent lead.

Benchmark Performance

The listed benchmark scores provide a detailed view of the i5-10200H's performance. In Cinebench R15, the multi-core score is 685 and the single-core score is 96. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 2856 and the single-core score is 403. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 6800 and the single-core score is 960. In Geekbench, the multi-core score is 4096 and the single-core score is 1347.

These individual results combine into an average benchmark score of 2155. The database percentile for this processor is 48, meaning it sits in the middle of the CPU distribution rather than at the top or bottom. The exact deltas against its nearest rivals are -0.1 percent versus the Intel Core i5-9400T, -0.3 percent versus the Intel Core i5-7640X, -0.4 percent versus the Intel Core i7-5950HQ, and +0.6 percent versus the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G.

Across that entire neighbor group, no comparison exceeds 0.6 percent. The benchmark results therefore indicate a processor that is tightly clustered with its nearest rivals. The average score of 2155 is effectively the center of that cluster. The multi-core scores show a strong response to threaded workloads, while the single-core scores define the floor for lightly threaded tasks. In aggregate, the processor is a mid-table performer with no extreme separation from the CPUs directly around it.

A: No. The multiplierUnlocked field is false, so the multiplier is not unlocked.

Power and Thermals

The i5-10200H is listed with a TDP of 45 W. That figure defines the processor's power class and the thermal envelope the system must handle. The processor is built on Intel's 14 nm process using the Comet Lake-H architecture, and it is packaged for the Intel BGA 1440 socket. Because the market segment is Mobile, this is a processor designed to be integrated into a laptop platform rather than a desktop board.

The 45 W TDP implies a cooling tier suitable for a standard performance-class mobile processor. The base clock of 2.40 GHz and boost clock of 4.10 GHz are the listed operating states within that thermal limit. The integrated UHD Graphics is included in the package, so the platform's thermal solution also covers the processor's graphics engine.

The production status is Active, meaning the part remains listed as current. The multiplier is not unlocked, so the clock behavior is governed by the default base and boost settings. The 45 W figure is the stated design limit, and the data does not provide any lower-power alternate configuration. For system builders, the 45 W TDP is the primary power and cooling reference point.

Who Should Consider It

The i5-10200H is best suited to users who need a mid-range mobile processor with 4 cores and 8 threads. The aggregate position at the 48th percentile places it in the middle of the performance field, so it is not aimed at extreme high-end multi-core workloads.

Office-oriented users can rely on the single-thread scores. The Geekbench single-core score is 1347, and the Cinebench R23 single-core score is 960. Those numbers indicate enough single-core performance for everyday productivity, web browsing, and responsive desktop use.

Creation-oriented users who run threaded workloads can use the multi-core results. The Geekbench multi-core score is 4096, and the Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 6800. The 8 threads and 6 MB of shared L3 cache support parallel work, although the 4-core configuration limits how far multi-threaded scaling can go.

Gaming-oriented considerations are grounded in the same scores. The CPU side offers a 4.10 GHz boost clock and single-core performance adequate for game logic. The integrated graphics solution is UHD Graphics, so the CPU package itself does not provide a high-end graphics engine. The 48th percentile aggregate score also places the processor in the middle of the overall database.

Users who value an unlocked multiplier should not select this part. The multiplier is locked, so overclocking is not an option. Users who need substantially higher multi-core throughput should look beyond the nearest-rival group. The i5-10200H is a capable mid-range mobile processor whose main strength is balance: it trails its nearest Intel rivals by only 0.1 to 0.4 percent, and it leads the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G by 0.6 percent.
