Xeon E5-2678 v3 vs Xeon W-11855M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-11855M is faster than the Xeon E5-2678 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2678 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-11855M. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-11855M. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-11855M. The Xeon W-11855M outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2678 v3 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 Xeon E5-2678 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
