Ryzen 7 5700G vs Core i9-11980HK benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5700G is faster than the Core i9-11980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5700G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-11980HK outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5700G 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 5700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
