Intel Core i5-11400T vs Intel Core i7-8850H

Core i5-11400T vs Core i7-8850H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8850H beats the Core i5-11400T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-11400T 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400T. Also, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400T 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-11400T has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8850H. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-11400T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
