Xeon W-11855M vs Core i5-12600T comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-11855M beats the Core i5-12600T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-12600T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-11855M has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12600T. Also, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12600T 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.

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.
