Core i5-2300 vs Core i5-9300H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9300H is faster than the Core i5-2300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2300 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-9300H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-2300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300H. Despite this, the Core i5-9300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-9300H outputs less heat than Core i5-2300 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. For instance, the Core i5-2300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
