Core i5-12500 vs Xeon W-11855M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12500 beats the Xeon W-11855M in overall performance. 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. The Xeon W-11855M outputs less heat than Core i5-12500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-12500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
