Core i5-11600 vs Ryzen 7 6800HS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11600 is faster than the Ryzen 7 6800HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 6800HS in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 6800HS has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11600 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11600. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 6800HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11600. Despite this, the Core i5-11600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800HS outputs less heat than Core i5-11600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 6800HS has more L2 cache than the Core i5-11600. The Ryzen 7 6800HS also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i5-11600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
