Intel Core i5-7600K vs Intel Core i5-10300H

Core i5-7600K vs Core i5-10300H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10300H performs better than the Core i5-7600K. Despite this, the Core i5-7600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-10300H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10300H. Despite this, the Core i5-10300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-10300H outputs less heat than Core i5-7600K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-10300H also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i5-7600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
