Core i5-11500 vs Xeon W-2135 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2135 is faster than the Core i5-11500. Despite this, the Core i5-11500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2135 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11500. Despite this, the Core i5-11500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2135 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-11500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
