Core i7-11800H vs Ryzen 5 7235HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11800H is faster than the Ryzen 5 7235HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 7235HS in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-11800H has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7235HS. Indeed, the Core i7-11800H has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7235HS. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7235HS. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7235HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11800H. Despite this, the Core i7-11800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
