Specs overview

Starting off with the entry-level Intel Core i5-8300H, which is based on the 8th gen Coffee Lake-H architecture. Manufactured through a 14nm process, the chip offers a total of 4 cores and is able to execute up to 8 threads simultaneously thanks to the Hyper-Threading technology. What’s more, Intel Core i5-8300H runs at a base frequency of 2.30 GHz and can reach up to 4.00 GHz in Turbo mode. Other essential specs include 8MB of L3 Cache, support for up to 2666 MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory controller with a maximum capacity of 64GB, as well as 45W TDP. In addition, the integrated GPU here is Intel UHD Graphics 630 with a base clock speed of 300MHz and a turbo boost frequency of 1.15 GHz.

Moving on to Intel Core i5-7300HQ, it is part of the 7th Generation Kaby Lake CPUs. Manufactured through a 14nm process, the chip adopts the 4/4 core/thread count and is clocked at 2.5 GHz, while its Turbo Boost frequency is 3.5 GHz. The specs sheet is complemented by 6MB last level cache, as well as a dual-channel memory controller that supports DDR4-2400, LPDDR3-2133, and DDR3L-1600, as well as a TDP of 45W which includes the iGPU. Speaking of which, the chip integrates an Intel HD Graphics 630 graphics chip clocked at 350 – 1000 MHz.

Benchmarks

I risultati provengono dal test CPU Cinebench 20 (più alto è il punteggio, meglio è)

I risultati provengono dal nostro test di Photoshop (più basso è il punteggio, meglio è)

I risultati provengono dal benchmark scacchistico Fritz (più alto è il punteggio, meglio è)

For the purposes of this juxtaposition, we have decided to compare the performance of the two chips found in Acer Nitro 5 AN515-52 and Acer Aspire 7 A717-71G respectively. Looking at the charts above, Intel Core i5-8300H shows around 65% better results when it comes to 3D rendering (tested with Cinebench 15). Moreover, the i5 chip is 46% faster in the Adobe Photoshop test. On top of that, Intel Core i5-8300H once again exceeds Intel Core i5-7300HQ with the impressive 59% in our raw synthetic benchmarks (tested with Fritz).

Conclusion

Judging by the fact that Intel Core i5-8300H smashes its opponent in all 3/3 benchmarks with a huge difference in numbers, it would be only fair to announce the 8th gen CPU as the winner in today’s comparison.
