Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 vs Intel Xeon W-10855M

Xeon E5-2680 v4 vs Xeon W-10855M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 beats the Xeon W-10855M in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon W-10855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2680 v4 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Xeon W-10855M that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-10855M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-10855M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2680 v4. Also, the Xeon W-10855M has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-10855M outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2680 v4 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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
