Ryzen 7 5700X vs EPYC 74F3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the EPYC 74F3 beats the Ryzen 7 5700X in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5700X 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 5700X. Indeed, the EPYC 74F3 has 9 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 5700X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5700X. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 74F3. A Ryzen 7 5700X 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 5700X. 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 7 5700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
