Core i5-9300H vs Core i3-N305 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9300H is faster than the Core i3-N305. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-N305 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-9300H that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9300H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Also, the Core i5-9300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-N305 outputs less heat than Core i5-9300H thanks to a 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 i5-9300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
