Intel Core i5-8365U vs Intel Core i5-9300H

Core i5-8365U vs Core i5-9300H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9300H beats the Core i5-8365U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8365U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9300H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8365U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-8365U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9300H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-8365U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
