Intel Core i5-6600 vs Intel Core i5-11400H

Core i5-6600 vs Core i5-11400H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11400H 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-11400H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6600. Indeed, the Core i5-11400H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6600. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400H. Despite this, the Core i5-11400H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11400H 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. In terms of cache, the Core i5-11400H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-6600. The Core i5-11400H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
