Xeon W-2145 vs Core i5-12450H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-2145 beats the Core i5-12450H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon W-2145 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2145 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Also, the Xeon W-2145 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12450H outputs less heat than Xeon W-2145 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-2145 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
