Core i9-11950H vs Ryzen 5 8600G specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-11950H beats the Ryzen 5 8600G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8600G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-11950H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 8600G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8600G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 8600G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-11950H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i9-11950H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 8600G CPU because of its 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 i9-11950H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
