Core i7-11600H vs Ryzen 5 8500G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11600H is faster than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-11600H. Also, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core i7-11600H has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 8500G. The Core i7-11600H also has slightly more 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.
