Core i5-4690K vs Core i5-8300H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8300H is faster than the Core i5-4690K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4690K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-8300H has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4690K has a significantly higher clock speed than 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 i5-4690K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i5-4690K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
