Core i7-8750H vs Core i3-8300 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8750H is faster than the Core i3-8300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8300 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8750H has significantly more cores than the Core i3-8300. Indeed, the Core i7-8750H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-8300. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8300. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8300 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8750H. A Core i7-8750H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-8300 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-8750H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-8300. The Core i7-8750H also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-8750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
