Core i5-12450H vs EPYC 74F3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the EPYC 74F3 performs better than the Core i5-12450H. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the EPYC 74F3 has slightly more cores with 9 cores whereas the Core i5-12450H has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12450H. Our comparison shows that the EPYC 74F3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. A Core i5-12450H 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 info from our database shows that the EPYC 74F3 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-12450H. The EPYC 74F3 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 Core i5-12450H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
