Intel Core i5-11320H vs Intel Core i7-8850H

Core i5-11320H vs Core i7-8850H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11320H performs better than the Core i7-8850H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8850H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-11320H. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-11320H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11320H. A Core i5-11320H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8850H CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-11320H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
