Intel® Core™ i5-9300HF

The Intel Core i5-9300HF is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Coffee Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Apr 2019. Clocks run from 2.4 GHz base to 4.1 GHz boost. A 8-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4, LPDDR3 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1440 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 45 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i5-9300HF scores 2,232 in single-core performance and 7,163 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,998 for overall performance, 7,781 for productivity performance, 7,957 for creator performance, 6,894 for engineering performance and 8,487 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,791 per core, 895 per thread and 159 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 596. Its performance index is 50, so its overall performance is 50% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-9300HF scores 24,193 in integer math, 15,266 in floating-point math, 99,553 in compression, 2,498 in cryptography, 432 in physics simulation, 6,362 in vector SIMD, 21 in the prime sieve and 13,275 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 59% below in integer math, 67% below in floating-point math, 56% below in compression, 78% below in cryptography, 60% below in physics simulation, 59% below in vector SIMD, 69% below in the prime sieve and 41% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i5-9300HF has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz and boosts up to 4.10 GHz.
