Ryzen 5 8500G vs EPYC 74F3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the EPYC 74F3 is faster than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Indeed, the EPYC 74F3 has 9 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 8500G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher clock speed than the EPYC 74F3. A Ryzen 5 8500G 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 8500G has more L2 cache than the EPYC 74F3. Despite this, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 8500G.

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 8500G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
