Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i7-11800H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11800H is faster than the Ryzen 5 5600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-11800H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600U that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600U. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 5600U and Core i7-11800H have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-11800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11800H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 5600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
