Core i5-9300H vs Core i7-8705G benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8705G is faster than the Core i5-9300H. Despite this, the Core i5-9300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i7-8705G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-9300H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8705G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-9300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
