so hashes/s is same as passwords/s?

cpu can't go that fast

Alot of hashes are cracked faster using a CPU over GPU actually. So it's a matter of what you're trying to use and what is being used. Otherwise, this command doesn't make sense:

hashcat64.exe -m 11600 -a 3 -?l?d hash.txt ?1?1?1?1

Unless you meant to do:
 hashcat64.exe -m 11600 -a 3 -1 ?l?d hash.txt ?1?1?1?1

And I'm guessing you're wanting to do an increment to your command as it sounds like you're wanting to guess all possibilities from 1-4 characters and not strictly to 4. Check out the Wiki for increments as that's probably what you're needing.

Here's a full example of guessing from 1 TO 4 Characters using LOWERCASE & DIGITS:

hashcat64.exe -m 11600 -a 3 -1 ?l?d -i --increment-min 1 --increment-max 4 hash.txt ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

Even though I have a mask with a length of 10, the increment commands will limit it from 1 to 4.
Otherwise, h/s is the same as pw/s or guesses/s or hits/s or whatever you want to see it as.

yea the command I used is " hashcat64.exe -m 11600 -a 3 -1 ?l?d hash.txt ?1?1?1?1" it is not CPU otherwise the cpu usage would be at 100%. cpu usage for both is basically at like 3% while GPU usage for both is at 100%.

so in this case why is crark-7z twice as fast? is Hashcat not good with AES256 because it is too secure with it's hash so hashcat just uses bruteforce method instead? im trying to get similar performance with hashcat ~10000 hash/sec but even a GTX 1080 gets around 8000-8500 hash with 7zip so my 1070 at around 5500 is normal.

clearly there is something very different between the two for one to be 2x the performance.
