Core i9-9900 vs Core i7-11850H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9900 performs better than the Core i7-11850H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11850H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-9900 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-11850H. Also, the Core i9-9900 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-11850H outputs less heat than Core i9-9900 thanks to a 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 i9-9900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
