Core i9-10980HK vs Xeon W-11855M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-11855M is faster than the Core i9-10980HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10980HK in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-10980HK has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon W-11855M that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-11855M. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-10980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i9-10980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
