Intel Core i3-8300 vs Intel Core i5-11300H

Core i3-8300 vs Core i5-11300H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11300H beats the Core i3-8300 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8300 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-11300H has more threads. The Core i5-11300H outputs less heat than Core i3-8300 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. For instance, the Core i3-8300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
