Core i7-11390H vs Core i5-13600K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-13600K performs better than the Core i7-11390H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11390H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-13600K has significantly more cores than the Core i7-11390H. Indeed, the Core i5-13600K has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-11390H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11390H. A Core i7-11390H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-13600K CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Core i7-11390H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
