average of the performances got with these processors, you may get different results.

Cinebench R20 is a multi-platform test software which allows to evaluate the hardware capacities of a device such as a computer, a tablet, a server. This version of Cinebench takes into account recent developments in processors with multiple cores and the latest improvements in rendering techniques. The evaluation is ultimately even more relevant.

	PassMark - CPU Mark & single thread
Intel Core i7-11700K#ad	3,538 27,098
Intel Core i5-9400H#ad	2,520 8,250

In single core, the difference is 40%. In multi-core, the differential gap is 228%.
