Ryzen 9 5900HX vs Core i9-11950H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 5900HX performs better than the Core i9-11950H. Despite this, the Core i9-11950H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 9 5900HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11950H. Despite this, the Core i9-11950H has a slightly higher 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.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5900HX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
