Xeon E5-2690 v4 vs EPYC 74F3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 is faster than the EPYC 74F3. Despite this, the EPYC 74F3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the EPYC 74F3 that 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 E5-2690 v4. A Xeon E5-2690 v4 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 E5-2690 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
