Intel 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11800H vs Intel 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11850H: Comparison
11th Gen Intel Core i7 11800H vs 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11850H: the p-core boost clock difference
They are built to different briefs, and p-core boost clock shows it, 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11800H 4.6 GHz against 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11850H 4.8 GHz. They differ on p-core base clock too, 2.3 GHz on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11800H versus 2.5 GHz on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11850H. On max memory speed there is little in it, 3200 MT/s on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11800H versus 4267 MT/s on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11850H.
Who each one is for
Take the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11800H for gaming and content creation laptops wanting genuine Tiger Lake H architectural gains over the previous Comet Lake generation. It is the wrong buy for buyers wanting the absolute highest single-core clock speed, some Comet Lake chips reached higher peak single-core Turbo. Take the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11850H for premium gaming and creator laptops wanting near-flagship 8-core Tiger Lake H performance. Avoid it for buyers wanting the absolute highest clocks, the flagship i9 11950H and unlocked 11980HK offer more.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and tdp read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 23 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Configurable TDP Floor the same on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11800H and 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11850H?
It is. Both are listed at 35 W, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.

Which one should you pick?
Choose 11800H if you want the higher L2 cache (10 MB vs 10 MB), the higher L3 cache (24 MB vs 24 MB) and the higher memory channels (2 vs 2).
Choose 11850H if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
