Core i5-11600K vs Xeon W-11855M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11600K performs better than the Xeon W-11855M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-11855M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W-11855M. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Xeon W-11855M outputs less heat than Core i5-11600K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-11600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
