Core i9-11950H vs Ryzen 9 6900HX specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 6900HX performs better than the Core i9-11950H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-11950H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount 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 i9-11950H. Despite this, the Core i9-11950H has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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.

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.
