Core i3-9300 vs Core i5-9300H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9300H beats the Core i3-9300 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9300 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-9300H has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-9300 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-9300H. Also, the Core i3-9300 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-9300H outputs less heat than Core i3-9300 thanks to a slightly 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 i3-9300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
