Q: Which chip has the larger cache?

A: The AMD EPYC 7313P offers 128 MB of shared L3 cache, compared to 33 MB on the Intel Core i7-14700F. Per-core L2 cache also differs: Intel has 2 MB per core versus AMD's 512 KB per core.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core i7-14700F is built on Intel's 10 nm process (Raptor Lake-R architecture) and uses the Intel Socket 1700. It packs 20 cores and 28 threads with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The die size is 257 mm², and the chip is manufactured by Intel. Its cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3.

The AMD EPYC 7313P uses TSMC's 7 nm process with Zen 3 (Milan) architecture on AMD Socket SP3. It has 16 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 3.70 GHz. The chip consists of four 81 mm² dies totaling 16,600 million transistors. Cache layout is 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and a much larger 128 MB shared L3.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The Intel part uses a dual-channel memory bus supporting both DDR4 and DDR5, while the EPYC uses an eight-channel DDR4 bus with a rated bandwidth of 204.8 GB/s. PCIe connectivity also diverges: Intel provides 16 Gen 5 lanes from the CPU, while AMD provides 128 Gen 4 lanes.

The EPYC targets the server/workstation segment, while the Intel chip is a desktop part. Both are production-active and have locked multipliers. The Intel chip carries a launch MSRP of $359, while the EPYC's launch MSRP is $913.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i7-14700F wins 13 of the 19 head-to-head benchmark comparisons. Its most decisive victory comes in Geekbench multicore, where it scores 19,620 versus the EPYC's 10,636 — an 84.5% advantage. That gap is striking given the EPYC's higher thread count. The Intel part also wins Geekbench single-core by 55.9% (2,429 vs 1,558) and Passmark single-thread by 61.6% (4,257 vs 2,634).

In Cinebench tests, the Intel chip wins every round, but by narrow margins. R15 multicore sees 3,540 vs 3,522 (0.5%), R20 multicore 14,751 vs 14,679 (0.5%), and R23 multicore 35,122 vs 34,952 (0.5%). Single-core results are similarly close: R15 499 vs 497 (0.4%), R20 2,082 vs 2,072 (0.5%), and R23 4,958 vs 4,934 (0.5%). These margins show that in rendering-style workloads, the two chips are essentially equivalent.

The AMD EPYC 7313P wins 6 benchmarks, led by Passmark find prime numbers with a 49.1% margin (346 vs 176). It also takes Passmark physics decisively at 4,229 vs 2,455 (41.9% ahead). In Passmark data encryption, the EPYC leads 35,727 vs 30,144 (15.6%). Data compression goes to AMD at 528,167 vs 505,885 (4.2%), extended instructions at 32,784 vs 28,564 (12.9%), and random string sorting at 62,596 vs 55,918 (10.7%).

Intel wins the math-heavy tests: floating-point math 107,005 vs 82,260 (30.1% ahead) and integer math 155,808 vs 145,558 (7% ahead). Passmark multithread is nearly tied at 41,317 vs 41,121 (0.5% for Intel).

The Verdict

The data tells a clear story: the Intel Core i7-14700F is the better all-around performer for desktop and mixed workloads, while the AMD EPYC 7313P excels in specific server-oriented tasks. The Intel chip's 84.5% lead in Geekbench multicore and 61.6% lead in Passmark single-thread are decisive. Its 30.1% advantage in floating-point math and 7% edge in integer math make it the stronger choice for computational workloads.

However, the EPYC's wins are not trivial. The 49.1% margin in prime-number finding and 41.9% lead in physics suggest specialized strengths. The 15.6% encryption advantage and 12.9% extended-instructions lead indicate server-style security and crypto workloads favor AMD. The EPYC's 128 MB of L3 cache, 128 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and 204.8 GB/s memory bandwidth position it for data-center tasks where the Intel's 16 Gen 5 lanes and dual-channel memory are insufficient.

For users who need a desktop processor with strong single-thread speed, high boost clocks, and broad benchmark dominance, the Intel Core i7-14700F is the data-backed choice. For server racks requiring massive I/O, high memory bandwidth, and specific cryptographic or physics computation, the EPYC 7313P justifies its higher launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

Intel Core i7-14700F wins in: Desktop computing, single-threaded applications, floating-point math, integer math, Geekbench workloads (both single and multi-core), Cinebench rendering (all versions), and Passmark multithread. The 84.5% Geekbench multicore advantage and 61.6% single-thread lead make it the clear pick for general productivity, content creation, and applications that favor high boost clocks.

AMD EPYC 7313P wins in: Prime-number finding (49.1% ahead), physics simulation (41.9% ahead), data encryption (15.6% ahead), extended instruction sets (12.9% ahead), data compression (4.2% ahead), and random string sorting (10.7% ahead). Its 128 MB L3 cache, 128 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and 204.8 GB/s memory bandwidth make it the data-backed choice for server-side cryptography, large dataset manipulation, and high-throughput I/O scenarios. The EPYC also offers lower per-core L2 (512 KB vs 2 MB) but compensates with a much larger shared L3 pool — a trade-off that favors its workload-specific wins.
