Core i9-9980HK vs Core i9-11950H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-11950H beats the Core i9-9980HK in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9980HK 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 i9-11950H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9980HK. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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 i9-9980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
