Intel Xeon E5-2687W v4 vs AMD EPYC 7281

The AMD EPYC 7281 is newer than Intel Xeon E5-2687W v4 @ 3.00GHz and is around 22% faster in multi-threaded (CPU Mark) testing. The AMD EPYC 7281 is around -20% slower in single-thread testing. Both CPUs operates at simliar power levels (TDP). All the CPUs in this comparison belong in the Server CPU Class. The values below were tabulated from a combined 80 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.
