Intel Core i9-11980HK vs Intel Xeon W-2155

Core i9-11980HK vs Xeon W-2155 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2155 is faster than the Core i9-11980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W-2155 has slightly more cores than the Core i9-11980HK. Indeed, the Xeon W-2155 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i9-11980HK. It also has more threads than the Core i9-11980HK. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2155 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-2155 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 i9-11980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
