Core i9-11900H vs Ryzen 7 5700X specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-11900H beats the Ryzen 7 5700X in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5700X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11900H. Despite this, the Core i9-11900H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-11900H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5700X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i9-11900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
