AMD EPYC 7543P vs Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6

EPYC 7543P vs Xeon E3-1270 v6 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 is faster than the EPYC 7543P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the EPYC 7543P in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the EPYC 7543P has significantly more cores with 32 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1270 v6 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1270 v6. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 7543P. Also, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1270 v6 outputs less heat than EPYC 7543P thanks to a 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 7543P has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1270 v6. The EPYC 7543P also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the EPYC 7543P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
