Core i7-11800H vs Ryzen 7 5800XT comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800XT performs better than the Core i7-11800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11800H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800XT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11800H. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800XT has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-11800H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800XT 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.
