Intel Core i5-6300HQ vs Intel Core i3-9100F

Core i5-6300HQ vs Core i3-9100F benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-9100F beats the Core i5-6300HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300HQ. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6300HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-9100F CPU because of its 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 i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
