Core i7-9800X vs Xeon W-11855M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9800X performs better than the Xeon W-11855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9800X has slightly more cores than the Xeon W-11855M. Indeed, the Core i7-9800X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-11855M. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-11855M. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W-11855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-11855M outputs less heat than Core i7-9800X 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 i7-9800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
