Core i5-11400 vs Ryzen 5 6600H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 6600H performs better than the Core i5-11400. Despite this, the Core i5-11400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 Core i5-11400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 6600H. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 6600H also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i5-11400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
