Ryzen 9 5900HX vs Xeon W-11855M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 5900HX performs better than the Xeon W-11855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 9 5900HX 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 9 5900HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W-11855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 Ryzen 9 5900HX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
