Overview
SummaryThe Intel Core i5-11500HE is a embedded processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Tiger Lake architecture (10 nm process). It launched in Jul 2021. Clocks run from 2.6 GHz base to 4.5 GHz boost. A 12-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1787 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (20 lanes).

Performance
10 metricsThe Intel Core i5-11500HE scores 3,104 in single-core performance and 16,666 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,192 for overall performance, 15,179 for productivity performance, 14,754 for creator performance, 16,562 for engineering performance and 13,479 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,778 per core and 1,389 per thread. Its performance index is 89, so its overall performance is 11% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
