AMD EPYC 74F3 vs Intel Core i3-14100F

EPYC 74F3 vs Core i3-14100F comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-14100F beats the EPYC 74F3 in overall performance. 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 EPYC 74F3 has significantly more cores with 9 cores compared to the Core i3-14100F that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-14100F. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-14100F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 74F3. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-14100F has slightly more L2 cache than the EPYC 74F3. Despite this, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-14100F.

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 EPYC 74F3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
