Intel Xeon W-10855M vs AMD EPYC 74F3

Xeon W-10855M vs EPYC 74F3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the EPYC 74F3 beats the Xeon W-10855M in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon W-10855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more cores with 9 cores compared to the Xeon W-10855M that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-10855M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the EPYC 74F3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W-10855M. A Xeon W-10855M 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.

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 Xeon W-10855M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
