Intel Core i9-11900H vs Intel Xeon W-2135

Core i9-11900H vs Xeon W-2135 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-2135 beats the Core i9-11900H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i9-11900H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-11900H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon W-2135 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2135. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2135 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-11900H. Despite this, the Core i9-11900H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-11900H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2135 CPU because of its 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 i9-11900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
