Core i5-6600 vs Core i5-11320H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11320H beats the Core i5-6600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6600 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-11320H has more threads. The Core i5-11320H outputs less heat than Core i5-6600 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. For instance, the Core i5-6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
