Intel Core i3-9100F vs Intel Core i5-8300H

Core i3-9100F vs Core i5-8300H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8300H performs better than the Core i3-9100F. Despite this, the Core i3-9100F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-8300H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8300H. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-8300H outputs less heat than Core i3-9100F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-8300H also has significantly 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 i3-9100F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
