Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Core i7-11800H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-11800H performs better than the Ryzen 9 5900HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 5900HS in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 5900HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-11800H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11800H CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
