Intel Core i3-8300 vs Intel Core i7-4800MQ

Core i3-8300 vs Core i7-4800MQ specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-8300 performs better than the Core i7-4800MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4800MQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4800MQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4800MQ. The Core i7-4800MQ outputs less heat than Core i3-8300 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i3-8300 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
