Intel Xeon W-11855M vs Intel Core i5-13420H

Xeon W-11855M vs Core i5-13420H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-11855M beats the Core i5-13420H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-13420H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-13420H has slightly more cores than the Xeon W-11855M. Indeed, the Core i5-13420H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-11855M. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-11855M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13420H. Also, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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.
