Intel Core i7-12800H vs AMD EPYC 74F3

Core i7-12800H vs EPYC 74F3 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12800H performs better than the EPYC 74F3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the EPYC 74F3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12800H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the EPYC 74F3 that has 9 cores. It also has more threads than the EPYC 74F3. Our comparison shows that the EPYC 74F3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800H. A Core i7-12800H 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 i7-12800H. The EPYC 74F3 also has slightly 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 i7-12800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
