Ryzen 7 5800X vs Xeon W-11855M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800X beats the Xeon W-11855M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-11855M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800X has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon W-11855M that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-11855M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X 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 7 5800X 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 7 5800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
