Ryzen 5 3600XT vs EPYC 74F3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the EPYC 74F3 beats the Ryzen 5 3600XT in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more cores with 9 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 3600XT has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3600XT. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 74F3. A Ryzen 5 3600XT 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3600XT. 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 3600XT has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
