Intel Core i5-8300H vs Intel Core i7-4850HQ

Core i5-8300H vs Core i7-4850HQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8300H beats the Core i7-4850HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4850HQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i5-8300H and Core i7-4850HQ are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8300H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4850HQ CPU because of its slightly 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.
