Intel Core i5-2300 vs AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

Core i5-2300 vs Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i5-2300 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2300. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-2300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Despite this, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 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.
