Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-9300HF was once a popular choice for mobile systems. This processor, manufactured using the 14nm process, is based on the proven Coffee Lake H Refresh architecture. Without its own integrated graphics unit, it was typically combined with a dedicated GPU. There it unfolded its full potential.

It offered solid performance for gaming and everyday tasks. Its 8 MB L3 cache contributed to smooth usage. The memory bandwidth of 34 GB/s was appropriate for its class. In Cinebench 2024, the Intel Core i5-9300HF achieves 31 points in the single-core test. In multi-core applications, it scores 149 points.

These values show that it is no longer a brand new chip. For its time, however, it was a strong performer in the mid-range segment. It made it possible to run many games and applications smoothly. Even today, it can still impress for less demanding tasks and older games. A reliable companion that diligently performs its tasks.

It was a clear favorite for price-conscious buyers.
  • Robust performance in the mobile segment
  • 8 MB L3 cache
  • Suitable for older games and light applications
  • Popular choice for price-conscious gaming laptops
