Intel Xeon E5-2670 vs AMD EPYC 3251

The AMD EPYC 3251 is newer than Intel Xeon E5-2670 @ 2.60GHz also around 35% faster in multi-threaded (CPU Mark) testing, it is around 22% faster in single-thread testing. However, AMD EPYC 3251 uses substantially less power. All the CPUs in this comparison belong in the Server CPU Class.The values below were tabulated from a combined 801 benchmarks submitted from our PerformanceTest software and results and are updated daily to include new submissions.

  • The first section will show basic information for each CPU selected.
  • The additional graphs shows the CPU Mark and Single Thread values of each CPU selected.
  • An accompany graph, if price data is available, will shows the value for money, in terms of the CPU Mark/Thread Rating per dollar.
  • The last section will show approximate yearly running costs for the CPUs.
