Intel Core i5-10300H vs Intel Core i7-8705G

Core i5-10300H vs Core i7-8705G specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8705G performs better than the Core i5-10300H. Despite this, the Core i5-10300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10300H. Despite this, the Core i5-10300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10300H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8705G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-10300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
