Core i5-11500H vs Ryzen 5 6600H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11500H beats the Ryzen 5 6600H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 6600H 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. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 6600H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11500H. Despite this, the Core i5-11500H 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.

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 i5-11500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
