Intel Core i7-1260P vs AMD EPYC 74F3

Core i7-1260P vs EPYC 74F3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the EPYC 74F3 performs better than the Core i7-1260P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1260P in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-1260P has slightly more cores with 12 cores whereas the EPYC 74F3 has 9 cores. Despite this, the EPYC 74F3 has more threads than the Core i7-1260P. With our hardware info, we find that the EPYC 74F3 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1260P. A Core i7-1260P 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. In terms of cache, the EPYC 74F3 has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-1260P. The EPYC 74F3 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 Core i7-1260P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
