Intel Core i7-11800H vs Intel Core i9-10900X

Core i7-11800H vs Core i9-10900X specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-10900X is faster than the Core i7-11800H. Despite this, the Core i7-11800H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-10900X has slightly more cores than the Core i7-11800H. Indeed, the Core i9-10900X has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-11800H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11800H. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-10900X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-11800H. Despite this, the Core i7-11800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-11800H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-10900X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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