Intel Xeon W-10855M vs AMD Ryzen 5 Microsoft Surface Edition

Xeon W-10855M vs Ryzen 5 Microsoft Surface Edition comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 Microsoft Surface Edition is faster than the Xeon W-10855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-10855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-10855M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 Microsoft Surface Edition.

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.
