Core i9-11980HK vs Ryzen 7 7735HS comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-11980HK performs better than the Ryzen 7 7735HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 7735HS in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7735HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-11980HK CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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 i9-11980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
