Comparison of the two processors

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.
