Ryzen 5 1600X vs Core i5-11400H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11400H beats the Ryzen 5 1600X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 1600X in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 1600X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11400H. The Core i5-11400H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1600X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-11400H has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 1600X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 1600X has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-11400H.

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 Ryzen 5 1600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
