Ryzen 5 3600X vs EPYC 74F3 comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the EPYC 74F3 is faster than the Ryzen 5 3600X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3600X in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more cores with 9 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3600X that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3600X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 3600X has a slightly higher clock speed than the EPYC 74F3. A Ryzen 5 3600X CPU outputs less heat than a EPYC 74F3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 3600X. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
