Indeed, the EPYC 7543P has 32 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-7700K. It also has more threads than the Core i7-7700K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 7543P. Also, the Core i7-7700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7700K CPU outputs less heat than a EPYC 7543P 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 7543P has more L2 cache than the Core i7-7700K. The EPYC 7543P 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 i7-7700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
