Core i5-10600 vs Core i5-11500H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11500H beats the Core i5-10600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10600 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11500H. Also, the Core i5-10600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11500H outputs less heat than Core i5-10600 thanks to a significantly 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 i5-10600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
