Core i7-6700 vs Core i7-11390H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11390H is faster than the Core i7-6700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. The Core i7-11390H outputs less heat than Core i7-6700 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 i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
