Intel Core i5-11600KF vs Intel Core i7-11800H

Core i5-11600KF vs Core i7-11800H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11600KF is faster than the Core i7-11800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11800H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-11800H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11600KF that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11600KF. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-11600KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11800H. Also, the Core i5-11600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-11800H outputs less heat than Core i5-11600KF thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-11600KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
