As usual, a higher core count and faster clock speeds will result in a smoother desktop experience with less slowdown when multitasking. The Core i3-1315U, i5-1335U, and i7-1355U have two performance cores, but the number of efficiency cores varies, from four on the Core i3 to eight on the Core i5 and i7. The Intel Processor U300 and Core i3-1305U have one performance core and four efficiency cores. They all have a hybrid design with a mix of performance and efficiency cores.
