Intel Xeon W-11855M vs Intel Core i5-12450H

Xeon W-11855M vs Core i5-12450H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-11855M performs better than the Core i5-12450H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12450H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12450H has slightly more cores than the Xeon W-11855M. Indeed, the Core i5-12450H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-11855M. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-11855M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Also, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 W-11855M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
