Xeon W-2145 vs Core i5-12500T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-2145 beats the Core i5-12500T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-12500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon W-2145 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-12500T has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12500T. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2145 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500T. Also, the Xeon W-2145 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12500T 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.

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-2145 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
