AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Intel Core i5-11400H

Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Core i5-11400H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 5900HS is faster than the Core i5-11400H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11400H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 9 5900HS has slightly more cores than the Core i5-11400H. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5900HS has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11400H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11400H. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 5900HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11400H. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 9 5900HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 5900HS 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 9 5900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
