Xeon W-2145 vs Ryzen 5 5600 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-2145 performs better than the Ryzen 5 5600. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon W-2145 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2145 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600. Also, the Xeon W-2145 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5600 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.
