Intel Core i7-11600H vs Intel Core i7-1270P

Core i7-11600H vs Core i7-1270P benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-11600H beats the Core i7-1270P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1270P has significantly more cores than the Core i7-11600H. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-11600H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11600H. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-11600H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i7-11600H. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i7-11600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
