Intel Core i5-6300HQ vs Intel Core i3-1115G4E

Core i5-6300HQ vs Core i3-1115G4E benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1115G4E is faster than the Core i5-6300HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300HQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6300HQ has significantly more cores than the Core i3-1115G4E. Indeed, the Core i5-6300HQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-1115G4E. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-1115G4E has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6300HQ. Also, the Core i3-1115G4E has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1115G4E outputs less heat than Core i5-6300HQ 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 i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
