Arguably.
7300HQ is a strict Quad-Core, 2.5GHz boosting to 3.5GHz
Single core boost to 3.5GHz
2 Core boost to 3.3GHz
4 core boost to 3.1GHz
8250U is a Quad-Core +HyperThreading. 1.6GHz to 3.4GHz.
Single core boost to 3.4GHz
I can;'t find the 'middle ground 2-4 core 'boost' speeds, but I'd expect around 2.8GHz as a guess.
BUT when all 4cores +HT are maxed out, clocks drop to 2.1-2.2GHz.

So, unless your games can fully utilize the HyperThreading and benefit from threads moreso than clock speeds (unlikely), they'd perform near identical IMO, perhaps a slight edge going to the 7300HQ.
....
Making the GPU the biggest deciding factor - where the GTX1050 is substantially better.
