Intel Xeon W-10855M vs Intel Core i5-1240P

Xeon W-10855M vs Core i5-1240P comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-10855M beats the Core i5-1240P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1240P in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-10855M. Indeed, the Core i5-1240P has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-10855M. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-10855M. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-10855M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Also, the Xeon W-10855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Xeon W-10855M 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 W-10855M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
