Xeon W-11855M vs Ryzen 9 9955HX specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 9955HX beats the Xeon W-11855M in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon W-11855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 9 9955HX has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Xeon W-11855M that has 6 cores. 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 Ryzen 9 9955HX. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 9955HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon W-11855M CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 9 9955HX CPU because of its slightly 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.
