Xeon E5-2470 v2 vs EPYC 74F3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2470 v2 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 Xeon E5-2470 v2 has slightly more cores with 10 cores whereas the EPYC 74F3 has 9 cores. It also has more threads than the EPYC 74F3. With our hardware info, we find that the EPYC 74F3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2470 v2. A Xeon E5-2470 v2 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 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 Xeon E5-2470 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
