Intel Core i5-10500T vs Intel Core i7-11800H

Core i5-10500T vs Core i7-11800H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-11800H beats the Core i5-10500T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10500T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-11800H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-10500T that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10500T. In terms of clock speed, the Core i5-10500T and Core i7-11800H are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i7-11800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10500T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11800H CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-10500T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
