Core i7-8700K vs Xeon W-10855M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8700K performs better than the Xeon W-10855M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-10855M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8700K 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 i7-8700K 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 i7-8700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
