Core i5-8300H vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8300H is faster than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i5-8300H and Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U have the same clock speed. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U.

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.
