Xeon E5-2697 v2 vs Xeon W-11855M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-11855M performs better than the Xeon E5-2697 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has significantly more cores with 12 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 Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2697 v2. Also, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-11855M outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2697 v2 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
