Core i5-11500 vs Core i5-11400F specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11400F is faster than the Core i5-11500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11500 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-11500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400F. Also, the Core i5-11500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-11500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
