Intel Xeon W-2155 vs Intel Core i9-12900HK

Xeon W-2155 vs Core i9-12900HK benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-2155 beats the Core i9-12900HK in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i9-12900HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i9-12900HK has slightly more cores with 14 cores whereas the Xeon W-2155 has 10 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2155 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900HK. Despite this, the Core i9-12900HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-12900HK outputs less heat than Xeon W-2155 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-2155 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
