Core i5-8300H vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8300H beats the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Also, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U 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 5 PRO 2500U 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 5 PRO 2500U.

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.
