Ryzen 5 3600XT vs Core i5-11260H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3600XT beats the Core i5-11260H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11260H 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11260H. Also, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11260H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3600XT thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
