Ryzen 9 5900HX vs Core i5-11500H comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 5900HX performs better than the Core i5-11500H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11500H in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 9 5900HX has slightly more cores than the Core i5-11500H. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5900HX has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11500H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11500H. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 5900HX has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11500H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. 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 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 5900HX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
