Core i5-3470 vs Core i5-8300H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8300H is faster than the Core i5-3470. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3470 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-8300H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3470 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-8300H outputs less heat than Core i5-3470 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-3470 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
