Intel Core i7-6820HK vs Intel Core i5-1155G7

Core i7-6820HK vs Core i5-1155G7 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1155G7 is faster than the Core i7-6820HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6820HK in all gaming tests too.

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 Core i7-6820HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1155G7. Despite this, the Core i5-1155G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1155G7 outputs less heat than Core i7-6820HK 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 i7-6820HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
