AMD EPYC 7543P vs Intel Xeon E5-2643 v2

EPYC 7543P vs Xeon E5-2643 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2643 v2 is faster than the EPYC 7543P. Despite this, the EPYC 7543P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the EPYC 7543P has significantly more cores with 32 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2643 v2 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2643 v2. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 7543P. Also, the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2643 v2 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 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.
