Intel 8th Gen Intel Core i5 8300H vs Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H: Comparison

What is the difference between 8th Gen Intel Core i5 8300H and 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H?

On l3 cache the spread is 33%, 8th Gen Intel Core i5 8300H 8 MB against 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H 12 MB, so 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H takes it. L2 cache runs the same way, 1 MB on the 8th Gen Intel Core i5 8300H versus 1.5 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H, another win for 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H. Product line is not the same on both, Core i5 on the 8th Gen Intel Core i5 8300H versus Core i7 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H. They differ on release year too, 2018 on the 8th Gen Intel Core i5 8300H versus 2020 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H.

8th Gen Intel Core i5 8300H vs 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H: which one fits your build

Take the 8th Gen Intel Core i5 8300H for mid-range gaming laptops wanting solid 4-core performance at a lower price than 6-core i7 options. It is the wrong buy for buyers needing strong multi-threaded performance, the 6-core i7 8750H offers meaningfully more within the same generation. Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10750H for gaming and creator laptops of its generation wanting strong single-threaded clock speed and Intel platform compatibility. Avoid it for buyers specifically prioritizing maximum multi-threaded throughput, AMD's 8-core Ryzen 7 4800H of the same generation offered meaningfully more multi-core headroom.

Where the two are identical

The common ground is wider than the gap: efficiency cores, tdp, integrated graphics, socket and form factor are identical here. They match on 3 further specifications as well.
