AMD EPYC 8024P vs AMD Ryzen 7 5700G Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded benchmark data separates these two AMD processors into clearly distinct roles despite sharing the same 8-core, 16-thread configuration. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G wins 9 of the 15 head-to-head comparisons, while the AMD EPYC 8024P takes 6. The Ryzen 7 5700G is the pick for desktop workloads that favor high clock speeds and integer-heavy tasks, while the EPYC 8024P is the choice for server environments where memory bandwidth, ECC support, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity matter more than raw single-thread speed.

The Ryzen 7 5700G leads in PassMark integer math by 47.3%, floating point math by 47.6%, and extended instructions by 53.3%. Those are decisive margins for compute-heavy desktop applications. The EPYC 8024P counters with a 39.4% advantage in Cinebench R23 single-core and a 26.6% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core, which suggests its Zen 4c architecture extracts more performance per clock in rendering workloads. The EPYC also wins PassMark physics by 47.6% and find prime numbers by 45.9%, indicating a different strength profile in algorithmic and physics simulation tasks.

For a desktop user building on AMD Socket AM4, the Ryzen 7 5700G offers integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics, a 65 W TDP, and an unlocked multiplier. For a server or workstation deployment on Socket SP6, the EPYC 8024P delivers DDR5 memory across six channels, 230.4 GB/s of memory bandwidth, 96 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, and ECC memory support. The data shows two chips that happen to share core counts but serve opposite ends of the hardware spectrum.

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 7 5700G uses Zen 3 architecture on a 7 nm process, produced by TSMC with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The EPYC 8024P uses Zen 4c architecture on a 5 nm process, also from TSMC, with 8,875 million transistors on a much smaller 73 mm² die. The process shrink explains part of the EPYC's efficiency story, though its TDP is higher at 90 W versus 65 W for the Ryzen.

Cache layouts differ notably. Both have 64 KB of L1 per core, but the Ryzen 7 5700G carries 512 KB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3, while the EPYC 8024P doubles L2 to 1 MB per core and doubles L3 to 32 MB shared. That larger cache hierarchy likely contributes to the EPYC's stronger Cinebench results, especially in multi-core rendering where data reuse matters.

Memory architecture is a fundamental split. The Ryzen 7 5700G supports DDR4 on a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth and no ECC. The EPYC 8024P supports DDR5 on a six-channel bus with 230.4 GB/s of bandwidth and ECC enabled. The EPYC's memory bandwidth is 4.5 times higher, which is a dominant factor for server workloads that stream large datasets.

PCIe connectivity also diverges sharply. The Ryzen 7 5700G provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. The EPYC 8024P provides PCIe Gen 5 with 96 CPU lanes. That is a 6x increase in lane count and two full generations of bandwidth improvement, making the EPYC the only option for multi-GPU or high-speed storage arrays.

The Ryzen 7 5700G includes integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics; the EPYC 8024P has none. The Ryzen part also has an unlocked multiplier, while the EPYC is locked. The Ryzen targets desktop with a 2021 release, the EPYC targets server with a 2023 release.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Cinebench R23 multi-core shows the EPYC 8024P ahead by 26.6%, scoring 17,472 versus 12,830.5. That is a substantial gap in a widely used rendering benchmark. The single-core R23 result is even more lopsided: the EPYC scores 2,466 versus 1,494, a 39.4% advantage. These results indicate that Zen 4c delivers meaningfully higher instructions per clock than Zen 3 in this workload, despite the EPYC's lower base clock of 2.40 GHz versus 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 3.00 GHz versus 4.60 GHz.

Cinebench R15 tells a different story. The Ryzen 7 5700G wins multi-core with 2,107 versus 1,761, a 19.6% margin. In R15 single-core, the EPYC wins by a slim 2.2%, scoring 248 versus 242.5. The reversal between R15 and R23 multi-core suggests the newer benchmark scales better with the EPYC's larger cache and newer architecture, while the older benchmark favors the Ryzen's higher clock speeds.

PassMark results heavily favor the Ryzen 7 5700G in most math workloads. Integer math: 91,541 versus 62,128, a 47.3% lead. Floating point math: 51,296 versus 34,757, a 47.6% lead. Extended instructions: 21,847 versus 14,251, a 53.3% lead. Data compression: 318,262 versus 232,242, a 37% lead. Data encryption: 20,325 versus 15,809, a 28.6% lead. PassMark multi-thread: 24,419 versus 20,556, an 18.8% lead. PassMark single-thread: 3,283 versus 2,371, a 38.5% lead.

The EPYC 8024P wins the remaining PassMark tests. Physics: 1,905 versus 999, a 47.6% lead. Find prime numbers: 109 versus 59, a 45.9% lead. Random string sorting: 34,613 versus 33,384, a smaller 3.6% lead. The physics and prime number results are striking because the EPYC wins by large margins despite losing most other math tests, suggesting its architecture handles branch-heavy or memory-latency-sensitive patterns differently.

Average benchmark scores place the two chips close together. The Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 27,051 with a 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs.
