Core i7-11800H vs Ryzen 9 6900HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 6900HS performs better than the Core i7-11800H. Despite this, the Core i7-11800H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 9 6900HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11800H. Also, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 6900HS outputs less heat than Core i7-11800H thanks to a slightly 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.
