Intel Core i7-11850H vs Intel Core i9-11900H

Core i7-11850H vs Core i9-11900H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-11900H performs better than the Core i7-11850H. Despite this, the Core i7-11850H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core i7-11850H and Core i9-11900H have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i9-11900H 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.

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 i7-11850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
