Ryzen 5 5600G vs Core i5-11500H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11500H performs better than the Ryzen 5 5600G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 Ryzen 5 5600G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11500H. Despite this, the Core i5-11500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11500H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 5600G 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 5600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
