Core i9-10900 vs EPYC 74F3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-10900 is faster than the EPYC 74F3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the EPYC 74F3 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i9-10900 has slightly more cores with 10 cores whereas the EPYC 74F3 has 9 cores. It also has more threads than the EPYC 74F3. With our hardware info, we find that the EPYC 74F3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-10900. A Core i9-10900 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 significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-10900. 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 i9-10900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
