Ryzen 7 1800X vs Core i5-11260H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 1800X is faster than the Core i5-11260H. Despite this, the Core i5-11260H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 1800X has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-11260H has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11260H. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 1800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11260H. The Core i5-11260H outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 Ryzen 7 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
