About the AMD EPYC 7402 CPU

The AMD EPYC 7402 is a 24-core (48-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q3 2019. It is part of AMD's EPYC lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The EPYC 7402 is compatible with AMD Socket SP3 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The EPYC 7402 supports DDR4 memory and features a octa-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 8 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the EPYC 7402 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 128 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The EPYC 7402 features 24 total cores which can process 48 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.8 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The EPYC 7402 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

About the Intel Core i7-9800X CPU

The Intel Core i7-9800X is an end-of-life 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q4 2018 with a suggested retail price of $589. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the X-Series 9th Gen microarchitecture. The i7-9800X is compatible with Intel Socket 2066 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-9800X supports DDR4 memory and features a quad-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 4 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-9800X has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16.5 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-9800X features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.8 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.5 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-9800X does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
