Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Core i5-11300H

Core i7-8700T vs Core i5-11300H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11300H performs better than the Core i7-8700T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8700T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8700T has significantly more cores than the Core i5-11300H. Indeed, the Core i7-8700T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-11300H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11300H. 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 i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
