Core i5-8300H vs Core i7-1185G7 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8300H is faster than the Core i7-1185G7. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1185G7 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. The Core i7-1185G7 outputs less heat than Core i5-8300H thanks to a 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
