Intel Core i5-11400H

The Intel Core i5-11400H is a high-end hexa-core SoC for gaming laptops and mobile workstations. It is based on the Tiger Lake H45 generation and was announced in mid 2021. It integrates six Willow Cove processor cores (12 threads thanks to HyperThreading). The base clock speed depends on the TDP setting and at 45 Watt is at 2.7 GHz. The single core boost speed can reach up to 4.5 GHz, all cores can reach up to 4.1 GHz. The CPU geatures 12 MB L3 cache and supports DDR4-3200 memory.

Furthermore, Tiger Lake SoCs add PCIe 4 support (20 lanes in the H45 series), AI hardware acceleration, and the partial integration of Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 and Wi-Fi 6E in the chip.

The SoC features an improved Gen 12 graphics adapter called UHD Graphics with 16 EUs.

Performance

The average 11400H in our database matches AMD Ryzen 5 5600U and Intel Core i7-10750H in multi-thread performance, rendering the Core i5 a decent mid-range option. It isn't as fast as the mighty Ryzen 9 5900HS, yet it will let you run nearly all games released in 2021 at High or Ultra settings if mated to a fast graphics card.

Power consumption

The Core i5 has a default TDP of 35 W to 45 W, the expectation being that laptop manufacturers will go for a higher value in exchange for higher performance. Core i5-11400H is manufactured on Intel's 2nd generation 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin for decent energy efficiency.
