Core i5-8259U vs Core i5-11300H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11300H is faster than the Core i5-8259U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8259U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i5-8259U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-11300H CPU because of its slightly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8259U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
