Intel Core i5-8300H vs Intel Xeon X5680

Core i5-8300H vs Xeon X5680 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5680 is faster than the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon X5680 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-8300H has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8300H. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon X5680 has a significantly higher clock speed than 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 X5680 CPU because of its 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 Core i5-8300H has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon X5680. The Core i5-8300H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
