Intel Core i7-11800H vs Intel Core i7-1265U

Core i7-11800H vs Core i7-1265U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11800H is faster than the Core i7-1265U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1265U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1265U has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-11800H that has 8 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-11800H has more threads than the Core i7-1265U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-11800H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1265U outputs less heat than Core i7-11800H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-11800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
