Core i5-10300H vs i7-10870H


Description
Both models i5-10300H and i7-10870H are based on Comet Lake architecture.

Comet Lake was released in 2019 as a 14nm process-refinement. These models were released as 10th generation CPUs like 10nm Ice Lake. There are model with 2 to 10 cores.

Using the multithread performance as a reference, the i5-10300H gets a score of 246.1 k points while the i7-10870H gets 487 k points.

Summarizing, the i7-10870H is 2 times faster than the i5-10300H. To get a proper comparison between both models, take a look to the data shown below.

Monothread performance graph
Monothread performance graphics gives the performance vs time. They are useful to measure the time it takes to the CPU to reach the maximum performance.

Usually, CPU's performance will be steady during these tests but if it has a slow frequency strategy, the first samples will show a lower score.

Multithread performance graph
Multithread graphs measure the performance against a heavy load during certain time.

If CPU's TDP doesn't limit the frequency and the machine is properly cooled, performance should remain steady vs time. Otherwise, the performance score will oscillate or decrease over time.
