Intel® Core™ i9-11980HK

The Intel Core i9-11980HK 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). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core i9-11980HK scores 3,209 in single-core performance and 21,878 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,379 for overall performance, 18,713 for productivity performance, 17,809 for creator performance, 22,425 for engineering performance and 15,097 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,735 per core, 1,367 per thread and 337 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,039. Its performance index is 104, so its overall performance is 4% above 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 i9-11980HK scores 76,961 in integer math, 45,232 in floating-point math, 258,784 in compression, 13,418 in cryptography, 1,096 in physics simulation, 17,143 in vector SIMD, 98 in the prime sieve and 30,975 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 31% above in integer math, 1% below in floating-point math, 13% above in compression, 17% above in cryptography, 1% above in physics simulation, 11% above in vector SIMD, 46% above in the prime sieve and 37% 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 i9-11980HK 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.
