Xeon W-2145 vs Core i9-12900T specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-12900T is faster than the Xeon W-2145. Despite this, the Xeon W-2145 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-12900T has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2145. Indeed, the Core i9-12900T has 16 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon W-2145. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2145. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2145 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900T. Despite this, the Core i9-12900T has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-12900T 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.

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