Core i9-11980HK vs Ryzen 9 6900HS comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 6900HS is faster than the Core i9-11980HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-11980HK 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 9 6900HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 6900HS outputs less heat than Core i9-11980HK thanks to a slightly 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 i9-11980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
