Core i7-1270P vs EPYC 74F3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the EPYC 74F3 beats the Core i7-1270P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-1270P 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 i7-1270P. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the EPYC 74F3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1270P. A Core i7-1270P 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 Core i7-1270P has significantly more L2 cache than the EPYC 74F3. Despite this, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-1270P.

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 i7-1270P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
