Core i5-10600 vs EPYC 74F3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the EPYC 74F3 is faster than the Core i5-10600. Despite this, the Core i5-10600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more cores with 9 cores compared to the Core i5-10600 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 74F3. A Core i5-10600 CPU outputs less heat than a EPYC 74F3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10600. The EPYC 74F3 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 Core i5-10600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
