Xeon W-11855M vs Ryzen 5 5500 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-11855M is faster than the Ryzen 5 5500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W-11855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon W-11855M CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU because of its 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.
