Core i7-9850H vs Core m3-6Y30 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9850H beats the Core m3-6Y30 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core m3-6Y30 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9850H has significantly more cores than the Core m3-6Y30. Indeed, the Core i7-9850H has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core m3-6Y30. It also has more threads than the Core m3-6Y30. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-9850H has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core m3-6Y30. Also, the Core i7-9850H has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core m3-6Y30 outputs less heat than Core i7-9850H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-9850H has more L2 cache than the Core m3-6Y30. The Core i7-9850H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-9850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
