Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Intel Xeon W-11855M

Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Xeon W-11855M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-11855M beats the Xeon E5-2699 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2699 v3 in all gaming tests too.

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-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 E5-2699 v3. Also, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-11855M 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.

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 E5-2699 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
