Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i5-8300H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8300H beats the Ryzen 3 4300U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-8300H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 4300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 4300U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
