Core i7-11700 vs Xeon W-11855M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-11700 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.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-11700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Xeon W-11855M has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-11855M. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-11700. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Xeon W-11855M outputs less heat than Core i7-11700 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 i7-11700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
