Intel Core i5-11300H vs Intel Core i3-1215U

Core i5-11300H vs Core i3-1215U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11300H is faster than the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-11300H that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i3-1215U outputs less heat than Core i5-11300H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-11300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
