Intel Xeon E5-2689 vs Intel Xeon W-10855M

Xeon E5-2689 vs Xeon W-10855M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-10855M beats the Xeon E5-2689 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2689 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2689 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon W-10855M that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-10855M. The Xeon W-10855M outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2689 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 Xeon E5-2689 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
