Core i7-11700F vs Ryzen 9 5980HX benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 5980HX beats the Core i7-11700F in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-11700F 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5980HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11700F. The Ryzen 9 5980HX outputs less heat than Core i7-11700F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-11700F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
