Core i5-11260H vs Ryzen 5 5600 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600 performs better than the Core i5-11260H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11260H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11260H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-11260H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-11260H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
