Ryzen 5 3600X vs Xeon W-11855M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-11855M is faster than the Ryzen 5 3600X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3600X 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 Ryzen 5 3600X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W-11855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-11855M outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3600X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 Ryzen 5 3600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
