Intel Core i7-8750H vs Intel Core i5-8300H

Core i7-8750H vs Core i5-8300H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8750H is faster than the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8750H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-8300H. Indeed, the Core i7-8750H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-8300H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8300H. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8750H. Despite this, the Core i7-8750H 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-8750H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-8750H.

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