EPYC 7543P vs Xeon E5-2678 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the EPYC 7543P is faster than the Xeon E5-2678 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2678 v3 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the EPYC 7543P has significantly more cores with 32 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has 12 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2678 v3. The Xeon E5-2678 v3 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.
