Ryzen 3 2300X vs Core i5-9300H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9300H performs better than the Ryzen 3 2300X. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-9300H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300H. Also, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-9300H outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 2300X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
