Intel Core i3-9300 vs Intel Core i7-4900MQ

Core i3-9300 vs Core i7-4900MQ benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4900MQ performs better than the Core i3-9300. Despite this, the Core i3-9300 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4900MQ has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-9300 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4900MQ. Also, the Core i3-9300 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4900MQ 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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 i3-9300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
