Xeon W-2155 vs Core i9-12900T benchmarks

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

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-12900T has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Xeon W-2155 that has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2155. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2155 has a significantly higher clock speed than 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-2155 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-2155 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
