Xeon W-2135 vs Ryzen 5 5500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500 beats the Xeon W-2135 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2135 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2135 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500. Also, the Xeon W-2135 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500 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.

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-2135 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
