Ryzen 7 2700 vs Core i5-11400H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 2700 performs better than the Core i5-11400H. Despite this, the Core i5-11400H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 2700 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-11400H. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11400H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11400H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400H. Despite this, the Core i5-11400H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11400H outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 2700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-11400H has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 2700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-11400H.

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 2700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
