Intel Xeon W-2135 vs Intel Core i7-1255U

Xeon W-2135 vs Core i7-1255U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-2135 performs better than the Core i7-1255U. Despite this, the Core i7-1255U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1255U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon W-2135 that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2135 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1255U. Despite this, the Core i7-1255U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1255U outputs less heat than Xeon W-2135 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon W-2135 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
