Core i5-8300H vs Xeon W3680 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W3680 is faster than the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3680 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-8300H. Indeed, the Xeon W3680 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-8300H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8300H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W3680 has a significantly 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 Xeon W3680 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Xeon W3680 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8300H

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.
