Core i5-8600K vs Xeon W-10855M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-10855M is faster than the Core i5-8600K. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon W-10855M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W-10855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-10855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-10855M outputs less heat than Core i5-8600K thanks to a 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. For instance, the Core i5-8600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
