Xeon W-11855M vs Core i7-1260P comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1260P is faster than the Xeon W-11855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-1260P has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Xeon W-11855M has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-11855M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-11855M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260P. Also, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260P outputs less heat than Xeon W-11855M thanks to a significantly 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.
