Intel Core i5-8300H vs Intel Core i7-3770S

Core i5-8300H vs Core i7-3770S benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8300H is faster than the Core i7-3770S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3770S in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3770S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8300H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3770S CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-8300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
