EPYC 7543P vs Xeon E5-1650 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the EPYC 7543P is faster than the Xeon E5-1650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1650 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 E5-1650 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1650. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 7543P. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-1650 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.

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 EPYC 7543P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
