Xeon W-11855M vs Core i9-12900HK benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-12900HK is faster than the Xeon W-11855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-12900HK has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-11855M. Indeed, the Core i9-12900HK has 14 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-11855M. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-11855M. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-12900HK. Despite this, the Core i9-12900HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
