Core i5-11300H vs Ryzen 5 5500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500 beats the Core i5-11300H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11300H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-11300H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11300H. A Core i5-11300H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-11300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
