Intel Xeon Gold 6254 vs AMD EPYC 74F3

Xeon Gold 6254 vs EPYC 74F3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon Gold 6254 beats the EPYC 74F3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the EPYC 74F3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon Gold 6254 has slightly more cores than the EPYC 74F3. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6254 has 12 cores compared to 9 cores found in the EPYC 74F3. Despite this, the EPYC 74F3 has more threads than the Xeon Gold 6254. Our comparison shows that the EPYC 74F3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Gold 6254. A Xeon Gold 6254 CPU outputs less heat than a EPYC 74F3 CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Xeon Gold 6254 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
