Xeon W-2145 vs Core i5-13600K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-13600K beats the Xeon W-2145 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2145 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon W-2145 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2145 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-13600K. Despite this, the Core i5-13600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-13600K outputs less heat than Xeon W-2145 thanks to a 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-2145 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
