The Intel Core i5-11400H is a 6 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.70 GHz (4.50 GHz). The processor can compute 12 threads at the same time. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600H clocks with 3.30 GHz (4.20 GHz), has 6 CPU cores and can calculate 12 threads in parallel.
Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.
Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.
A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.
Up to 128 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core i5-11400H, while the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H supports a maximum of 64 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s enabled.
The Intel Core i5-11400H has a TDP of 45 W. The TDP of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H is 45 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.
The Intel Core i5-11400H has 17.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of AMD Ryzen 5 5600H is at 20.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 7 nm.

Cinebench R23 is the successor of Cinebench R20 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.
Cinebench R23 is the successor of Cinebench R20 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The multi-core test involves all CPU cores and taks a big advantage of hyperthreading.
Geekbench 5 is a cross plattform benchmark that heavily uses the systems memory. A fast memory will push the result a lot. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.

Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The single-core benchmark only evaluates the performance of the fastest CPU core, the number of CPU cores in a processor is irrelevant here.
Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The multi-core benchmark evaluates the performance of all of the processor's CPU cores. Virtual thread improvements such as AMD SMT or Intel's Hyper-Threading have a positive impact on the benchmark result.

The theoretical computing performance of the internal graphics unit of the processor with simple accuracy (32 bit) in GFLOPS. GFLOPS indicates how many billion floating point operations the iGPU can perform per second.
Some of the CPUs listed below have been benchmarked by CPU-monkey. However the majority of CPUs have not been tested and the results have been estimated by a CPU-monkey’s secret proprietary formula. As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd.
The CPU-Z benchmark measures a processor's performance by measuring the time it takes the system to complete all benchmark calculations. The faster the benchmark is completed, the higher the score.

In the Blender Benchmark 3.1, the scenes "monster", "junkshop" and "classroom" are rendered and the time required by the system is measured. In our benchmark we test the CPU and not the graphics card. Blender 3.1 was presented as a standalone version in March 2022.
These two processors were released around the same time in the second quarter of 2021. These are models from the mobile sector, which means they are mainly used in notebooks / laptops.
The Intel Core i5-11400H comes from the eleventh generation of Intel's Core i series, is based on the Tiger Lake H architecture and is manufactured with a structure width of 10 nanometers. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600H is a fourth-generation CPU from AMD's Ryzen series based on the Cezanne architecture (Zen 3). The AMD processor is already manufactured using the smaller 7-nanometer process.
Both processors have 6 physical cores and support Hyperthreading, which means they have 12 computing threads (also called logical cores) at their disposal. The Intel Core i5-11400H clocks at up to 4.50 gigahertz and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with a maximum of 4.20 gigahertz a little lower.
In our benchmarks, the processors are quite close together, so you can't say that one of the CPUs is faster than the other.
Like all mobile processors, these two also have an internal graphics unit. The Intel Core i5-11400H uses an eleventh generation Intel UHD Graphics with 16 execution units. This clocks at up to 1.45 gigahertz and the 16 execution units have a total of 128 shader units. This graphics unit, which is manufactured in a 10-nanometer structure width, achieves an FP32 computing power (single precision) of 371 GigaFLOPS. The AMD Radeon 6 Graphics (Renoir) is integrated in the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H. This iGPU is manufactured using the 7 nanometer process and clocks at up to 1.60 gigahertz. It is equipped with 6 execution units and 384 shaders and thus achieves an FP32 computing power of 1229 GigaFLOPS, which makes it significantly more powerful than the Intel iGPU.
Both processors have 2 memory channels with which DDR4-3200 type RAM can be operated.
