Core i7-11850H vs Ryzen 7 8840HS benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 8840HS beats the Core i7-11850H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-11850H 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 8840HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-11850H. Also, the Ryzen 7 8840HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8840HS outputs less heat than Core i7-11850H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-11850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
