Core i7-8700 vs EPYC 74F3 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the EPYC 74F3 performs better than the Core i7-8700. Despite this, the Core i7-8700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-8700. Indeed, the EPYC 74F3 has 9 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-8700. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8700. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 74F3. A Core i7-8700 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 EPYC 74F3 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8700. 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 i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
