Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Core i7-11700KF comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11700KF is faster than the Ryzen 9 5900HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 5900HS in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-11700KF has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 9 5900HS. A Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11700KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

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.
