Xeon E5-2680 v2 vs Xeon W-10855M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-10855M is faster than the Xeon E5-2680 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2680 v2 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2680 v2 has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Xeon W-10855M has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-10855M. Both the Xeon E5-2680 v2 and Xeon W-10855M have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Xeon W-10855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-10855M outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2680 v2 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 E5-2680 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
