Core i7-10870H vs EPYC 74F3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the EPYC 74F3 performs better than the Core i7-10870H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10870H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the EPYC 74F3 has slightly more cores with 9 cores compared to the Core i7-10870H that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10870H. Our comparison shows that the EPYC 74F3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10870H. A Core i7-10870H 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 i7-10870H. 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 i7-10870H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
