AMD Ryzen 7 1700 vs AMD EPYC 74F3

Ryzen 7 1700 vs EPYC 74F3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 1700 performs better than the EPYC 74F3. Despite this, the EPYC 74F3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the EPYC 74F3 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 1700. Indeed, the EPYC 74F3 has 9 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 1700. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 1700. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the EPYC 74F3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 1700. A Ryzen 7 1700 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 slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 1700. The EPYC 74F3 also has significantly more 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 7 1700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
