What it is
Our main score for this model, 1–10. It combines specs, expert reviews, best-of lists, owners and ratings from across the web.
How we count it
Parts: Technical score 40%, Reviews score 25%, List score 15%, Sentiment score 10%, User score 10%
Marks: Each part gets a mark out of 10. For reviews, lists and owners, a typical model in this category gets about 8 and the best one gets 10.
No data yet: A part with no data shows "?". It counts as the mark of a weaker model in this category (4 in 5 models with data score higher). This way, models with reviews, lists and owners usually come out ahead.

What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.2 for now.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Intel Core Ultra 5 335

  • A PassMark single-core score of 3972 keeps everyday apps responsive.
  • A Geekbench 6 single-core score of 2494 handles quick daily tasks.
  • A 4.6 GHz boost clock helps single tasks finish sooner.
  • Eight cores and eight threads handle browsing and office work at once.
  • The 16 MB L2 cache holds much of the working data on the chip.
  • Built on 2 nm, the chip uses a modern manufacturing process.

What we don't like about Intel Core Ultra 5 335

  • The PCIe lane count of 12 leaves fewer lanes for add-in cards and fast storage.
  • Memory is capped at 128 GB, which matters for very large workloads.
  • There is no multithreading, so each core runs a single thread at a time.
  • The chip is locked, so the clock cannot be raised by hand.
  • Only four of the eight cores are performance cores, so heavy work leans on the slower ones.

Verdict

Browsing, email and documents run smoothly on the Intel Core Ultra 5 335. Its PassMark single-core score of 3972 and Geekbench 6 single-core score of 2494 keep everyday apps quick. Eight cores with eight threads and a 4.6 GHz boost clock cover typical tasks without strain. The 16 MB of L2 cache keeps data close to the cores, and the chip is built on 2 nm. Memory tops out at 128 GB, and speed reaches 7467 MHz. One drawback is the PCIe lane count of 12, which leaves fewer lanes for add-in cards and fast storage. Multithreading is missing, and the chip is locked, so the clock cannot be pushed. It suits someone who wants a dependable chip for everyday tasks and does not need heavy multi-core power.
