Ryzen 5 1500X vs EPYC 7543P comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the EPYC 7543P is faster than the Ryzen 5 1500X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 1500X 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 Ryzen 5 1500X that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 1500X. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 7543P. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 5 1500X CPU outputs less heat than a EPYC 7543P CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the EPYC 7543P has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 1500X. 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 Ryzen 5 1500X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
