Core i3-10300 vs Core i5-9600KF comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9600KF beats the Core i3-10300 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10300 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9600KF has significantly more cores than the Core i3-10300. Indeed, the Core i5-9600KF has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-10300. Despite this, the Core i3-10300 has more threads than the Core i5-9600KF. In terms of clock speed, the Core i3-10300 and Core i5-9600KF are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-10300 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9600KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-9600KF has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-10300. The Core i5-9600KF also has slightly more L3 cache.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-10300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
