Core i5-11600K vs Ryzen 7 6800H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 6800H performs better than the Core i5-11600K. Despite this, the Core i5-11600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 6800H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11600K that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11600K. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-11600K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 6800H. Also, the Core i5-11600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800H outputs less heat than Core i5-11600K thanks to a significantly 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 Ryzen 7 6800H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-11600K. The Ryzen 7 6800H also has slightly more L3 cache.

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