Intel 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H vs Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7: Comparison
9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H vs 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 p-core boost clock compared
They are built to different briefs, and p-core boost clock shows it, 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H 4.1 GHz against 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 3.9 GHz. Add l2 cache to that, 1 MB on the 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H versus 2 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7, and the pattern holds. Microarchitecture is not the same on both, Coffee Lake, 9th Gen Intel Core on the 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H versus Ice Lake, 10th Gen Intel Core on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7. Base power is not the same on both, 45 W on the 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H versus 15 W on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7.
9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H vs 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7: which one fits your build
The 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H suits budget and mid-range gaming laptops of the Coffee Lake generation. Avoid it for content creators needing more multi-threaded headroom, the 6-core i7 9750H, covered elsewhere on this site, handles that better. Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 for upper mid-range and premium thin-and-light laptops wanting the strongest available Ice Lake integrated graphics alongside solid CPU performance. It is the wrong buy for buyers specifically needing more than 4 cores for sustained multi-threaded work, H-series chips of the same generation handle that better.
What 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H and 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 have in common
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and l3 cache read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 5 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H and 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 differ on p-core base clock?
Yes. P-Core Base Clock reads 2.4 GHz on the 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H versus 1.3 GHz on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7.
Is the Form Factor the same on the 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9300H and 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7?
It is. Both are listed at Laptop, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
