Core i5-8600 vs Core i7-11370H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8600 is faster than the Core i7-11370H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11370H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8600 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-11370H. Indeed, the Core i5-8600 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-11370H. Despite this, the Core i7-11370H has more threads than the Core i5-8600. The Core i7-11370H outputs less heat than Core i5-8600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i5-8600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
