Core i9-9900 vs Xeon W-2155 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-2155 performs better than the Core i9-9900. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9900 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon W-2155 has slightly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i9-9900 has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i9-9900. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2155 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-9900. Despite this, the Core i9-9900 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-9900 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.

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 i9-9900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
