Core i5-9300H vs Ryzen 5 5560U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5560U beats the Core i5-9300H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9300H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5560U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-9300H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9300H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9300H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5560U. Also, the Core i5-9300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5560U 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.
