Intel Core i5-11600K vs Intel Xeon W-2145

Core i5-11600K vs Xeon W-2145 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11600K beats the Xeon W-2145 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2145 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W-2145 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-11600K. Indeed, the Xeon W-2145 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11600K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11600K. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W-2145. Also, the Core i5-11600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11600K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2145 CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-11600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
