Intel Core i7-7820HQ vs Intel Core i5-10300H

Core i7-7820HQ vs Core i5-10300H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10300H is faster than the Core i7-7820HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7820HQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7820HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10300H. Despite this, the Core i5-10300H 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.

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 i7-7820HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
