Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Xeon W-10855M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 is faster than the Xeon W-10855M. 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 E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Xeon W-10855M that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-10855M. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-10855M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Also, the Xeon W-10855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-10855M outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2699 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 E5-2699 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
