Intel Core i5-11500 vs Intel Core i5-11500H

Core i5-11500 vs Core i5-11500H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11500H is faster than the Core i5-11500. Despite this, the Core i5-11500 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 i5-11500H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11500. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i5-11500H outputs less heat than Core i5-11500 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 i5-11500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
