Intel Core i5-11400F vs Intel Core i5-11500H

Core i5-11400F vs Core i5-11500H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11500H beats the Core i5-11400F in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-11400F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400F. Also, the Core i5-11500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11500H outputs less heat than Core i5-11400F thanks to a 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 i5-11400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
