Xeon W-11855M vs Ryzen 5 5600 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600 is faster than the Xeon W-11855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600 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 5600 CPU because of its significantly 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.
