Intel Core i5-9300H vs Intel Core i3-N305

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.

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.
