Intel Core i5-9300H vs Intel Core i9-10885H

Core i5-9300H vs Core i9-10885H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-10885H is faster than the Core i5-9300H. Despite this, the Core i5-9300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-10885H has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-9300H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9300H. Both the Core i5-9300H and Core i9-10885H have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i9-10885H has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
