Fragz' verdict
The 11th Gen Core i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz takes a clear victory in this comparison, leading the Core i7-10750H by a solid 22.7% based on its overall CPU score. This performance gap is evident across key gaming metrics, with the i5 delivering superior single-thread performance at 0.52 Gop/s compared to the i7's 0.38 Gop/s, which often dictates maximum in-game frame rates. It also pulls ahead in multi-threaded integer operations (4.5 Gop/s versus 3.2 Gop/s) and pushes significantly more draw calls per second (8.27 million vs 6.58 million), translating to a noticeable lead in the Supernova DX11 scene at 69.1 FPS against 54.9 FPS. For gamers, this means the 11th Gen Core i5 will provide a smoother experience with higher minimum and average frame rates, especially in CPU-bound scenarios. While the Core i7-10750H holds its own with similar core and thread counts, and even a slightly higher peak clock, its older architecture simply can't keep up in raw processing power, and with only a few verified runs for each chip, these results should be considered with some caution.

What the numbers mean
The CPU score is the processor's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the processor in, and leans heavily on the graphics card. A strong processor in a weak PC gets a low GAMING score without being worse. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
