Core i3-10100F vs Core i5-8300H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-10100F is faster than the Core i5-8300H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8300H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8300H. Also, the Core i3-10100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-8300H outputs less heat than Core i3-10100F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-10100F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
