Ryzen 9 5980HX vs EPYC 74F3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 5980HX is faster than the EPYC 74F3. Despite this, the EPYC 74F3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the EPYC 74F3 has slightly more cores with 9 cores whereas the Ryzen 9 5980HX has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 9 5980HX. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5980HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 74F3. A Ryzen 9 5980HX 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 slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 9 5980HX. 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 9 5980HX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
