Core i9-11980HK vs Xeon W-2145 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-11980HK beats the Xeon W-2145 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2145 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2145 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-11980HK CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2145 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i9-11980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
