Intel Core i9-11900H vs AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX

Core i9-11900H vs Ryzen 9 6900HX comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-11900H beats the Ryzen 9 6900HX in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 6900HX 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 9 6900HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11900H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i9-11900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
