Core i7-6700 vs Core i5-9300H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700 is faster than the Core i5-9300H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9300H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300H. Despite this, the Core i5-9300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-9300H outputs less heat than Core i7-6700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
