Ryzen 7 1700X vs Xeon W-10855M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-10855M beats the Ryzen 7 1700X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1700X in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 1700X has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Xeon W-10855M has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-10855M. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 1700X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon W-10855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-10855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-10855M outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1700X thanks to a 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 Ryzen 7 1700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
