Intel Core i7-8750H vs Intel Core i5-9300H

Core i7-8750H vs Core i5-9300H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8750H beats the Core i5-9300H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-9300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8750H has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-9300H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9300H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9300H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8750H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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 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.
