Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i5-8300H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8300H is faster than the Ryzen 3 2300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2300U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-8300H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8300H CPU because of its 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 Ryzen 3 2300U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
