AMD Ryzen 7 5700U vs Intel Core i5-8300H

Ryzen 7 5700U vs Core i5-8300H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5700U performs better than the Core i5-8300H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8300H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5700U has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-8300H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8300H. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5700U 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 7 5700U 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 7 5700U.

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 7 5700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
