Core i3-9100F vs Core i5-9300H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9300H beats the Core i3-9100F in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-9100F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-9300H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300H. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-9300H 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i3-9100F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
