Core i5-8300H vs Ryzen 3 5425U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 5425U beats the Core i5-8300H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8300H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 5425U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8300H. Also, the Ryzen 3 5425U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 3 5425U 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 5425U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 5425U.

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.
