Intel Xeon W-2135 vs AMD EPYC 74F3

Xeon W-2135 vs EPYC 74F3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the EPYC 74F3 beats the Xeon W-2135 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2135 in all gaming tests too.

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-2135 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2135. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2135 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the EPYC 74F3. A Xeon W-2135 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-2135 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
