Intel Xeon W-11855M vs Intel Core i5-12500T

Xeon W-11855M vs Core i5-12500T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-11855M performs better than the Core i5-12500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12500T in all gaming tests too.

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-11855M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500T. Also, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12500T outputs less heat than Xeon W-11855M thanks to a slightly 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 W-11855M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
