Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i5-8300H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 5300U beats the Core i5-8300H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 5300U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300U 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 5300U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
