Intel® Core™ i9-11950H

The Intel Core i9-11950H is a laptop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Tiger Lake architecture (10 nm process). It launched in Apr 2021. Clocks run from 2.6 GHz base to 5.0 GHz boost. A 24-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.3 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). Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core i9-11950H scores 3,082 in single-core performance and 20,246 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,899 for overall performance, 17,475 for productivity performance, 16,683 for creator performance, 20,752 for engineering performance and 14,308 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,531 per core and 1,265 per thread. Its performance index is 98, so its overall performance is 2% 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.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i9-11950H scores 72,766 in integer math, 43,070 in floating-point math, 239,350 in compression, 12,349 in cryptography, 964 in physics simulation, 15,957 in vector SIMD, 88 in the prime sieve and 28,659 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 24% above in integer math, 6% below in floating-point math, 5% above in compression, 7% above in cryptography, 12% below in physics simulation, 3% above in vector SIMD, 31% above in the prime sieve and 27% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i9-11950H has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.60 GHz and boosts up to 5.00 GHz.

The Intel Core i9-11950H is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i9 family, uses the Tiger Lake architecture, carries the codename Tiger Lake and is manufactured on a 10 nm process. It launched in Apr 2021.

The Intel Core i9-11950H has 640 KB of L1 cache, 10 MB of L2 cache and 24 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 34.6 MB of cache, or 4.33 MB per core. Each core has 1.25 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i9-11950H has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 640 KB, L2 at 10 MB and L3 at 24 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 69% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i9-11950H supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 128 GB of memory, uses 2 memory channels, runs memory at up to 3,200 MT/s and delivers up to 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.
