Xeon W-11855M vs Core i5-12490F comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12490F performs better than the Xeon W-11855M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-11855M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12490F. Also, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon W-11855M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12490F CPU because of its 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-11855M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
