Core i7-11700 vs Ryzen 9 6900HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 6900HS is faster than the Core i7-11700. Despite this, the Core i7-11700 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 9 6900HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-11700. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 9 6900HS outputs less heat than Core i7-11700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-11700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
