Core i5-9600 vs Core i5-11320H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11320H beats the Core i5-9600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9600 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-9600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-11320H has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i5-11320H has more threads than the Core i5-9600. The Core i5-11320H outputs less heat than Core i5-9600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-9600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
