Intel Core i9-10900F vs Intel Xeon W-11855M

Core i9-10900F vs Xeon W-11855M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-10900F 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 i9-10900F has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-11855M. Indeed, the Core i9-10900F has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-11855M. 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 i9-10900F. Despite this, the Core i9-10900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-11855M outputs less heat than Core i9-10900F 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. Indeed, the Core i9-10900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
