Core i5-11500H vs Ryzen Embedded V2718

The Core i5-11500H packs 6 cores / 12 threads, while the Ryzen Embedded V2718 offers 8 cores / 16 threads — the Ryzen Embedded V2718 has 2 more cores. Boost clocks reach 4.6 GHz on the Core i5-11500H versus 4.15 GHz on the Ryzen Embedded V2718 — a 10.3% clock advantage for the Core i5-11500H (base: 2.9 GHz vs 1.7 GHz). The Core i5-11500H uses the Tiger Lake H45 (2021) architecture (10 nm SuperFin), while the Ryzen Embedded V2718 uses Renoir (2020−2023) (7 nm). In PassMark, the Core i5-11500H scores 15,669 against the Ryzen Embedded V2718's 15,831 — a 1% lead for the Ryzen Embedded V2718. Cinebench R23 multi-core: 9,532 vs 654 (174.3% advantage for the Core i5-11500H). Geekbench 6 single-core — the metric most relevant to gaming — records 1,801 vs 1,124, a 46.3% lead for the Core i5-11500H that directly translates to higher frame rates. Multi-core Geekbench: 6,248 vs 4,551 (31.4% advantage for the Core i5-11500H). L3 cache: 12 MB (total) on the Core i5-11500H vs 8 MB (total) on the Ryzen Embedded V2718.

The Core i5-11500H uses the FCBGA1787 socket (PCIe 4.0), while the Ryzen Embedded V2718 uses FP6 (PCIe 3.0) — making them incompatible on the same motherboard. Maximum memory speed reaches DDR4-3200 on the Core i5-11500H versus DDR4 3200 MHz on the Ryzen Embedded V2718 — the Ryzen Embedded V2718 supports 200% faster memory, which can translate to measurable gains in memory-sensitive workloads. The Core i5-11500H supports up to 128 GB of RAM compared to 64 GB — 66.7% more capacity for professional workloads. Both feature 2-channel memory with ECC support. Both provide 20 PCIe lanes. Chipset compatibility: HM570,QM580,WM590 (Core i5-11500H) and SoC (Ryzen Embedded V2718).

Neither processor supports overclocking. Only the Core i5-11500H supports AVX-512 instructions — important for machine learning and scientific applications. Virtualization support: VT-x, VT-d, EPT (Core i5-11500H) vs true (Ryzen Embedded V2718). Both include integrated graphics — UHD Graphics 750 (32 EU) (Core i5-11500H) and Radeon Vega 7 (Ryzen Embedded V2718) — useful as a fallback for troubleshooting or display output without a dedicated GPU. Primary use case: Core i5-11500H targets Gaming, Ryzen Embedded V2718 targets Embedded. Direct competitor: Core i5-11500H rivals Ryzen 5 5600H.
