Core i9-9880H vs Core i7-11800H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-11800H performs better than the Core i9-9880H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9880H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9880H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11800H. Also, the Core i9-9880H 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i9-9880H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
