Core i7-6850K vs Core i5-11300H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11300H is faster than the Core i7-6850K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6850K in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-6850K has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-11300H has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11300H. The Core i5-11300H outputs less heat than Core i7-6850K thanks to a significantly 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 i7-6850K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
