Core i7-8700 vs Core i7-11390H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8700 is faster than the Core i7-11390H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11390H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8700 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-11390H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11390H. The Core i7-11390H outputs less heat than Core i7-8700 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 i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
