Core i7-11700K vs Ryzen 7 8845H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 8845H performs better than the Core i7-11700K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11700K in all gaming tests too.

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 7 8845H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11700K. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 8845H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-11700K. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i7-11700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
