AMD EPYC 9474F vs Intel Core i7-1360P Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data presents a complete sweep for the AMD EPYC 9474F across every recorded test. The Intel Core i7-1360P does not win a single head-to-head benchmark in the database, with the AMD part taking all six Cinebench comparisons. The most lopsided result appears in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where the EPYC 9474F scores 86,790 against the i7-1360P's 11,266.5, a delta of -87% from the Intel part's perspective. That is not a marginal gap; it is a different performance class entirely.

The Intel chip's best relative showing comes in Cinebench R15 single-core, where it trails by 79.1%. Its worst relative result is Cinebench R20 multi-core and single-core, both at -82.1%. The EPYC 9474F dominates in every workload category represented, from single-threaded rendering to heavily parallel multi-core tasks. The Intel part remains competitive within its own market segment, as its average benchmark score of 24,344 places it near chips like the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H (24,364, -0.1%) and Intel Core i5-13400 (24,280, +0.3%). However, against the EPYC 9474F, whose average score is 25,103, the gap is decisive.

Architecture Differences

These two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Core i7-1360P is built on Raptor Lake architecture (codename Raptor Lake-P) using Intel's 10 nm process node, fabricated by Intel itself. It packs 12 cores and 16 threads, a hybrid arrangement typical of mobile parts. The AMD EPYC 9474F uses Zen 4 architecture (codename Genoa) on TSMC's 5 nm node, with 48 cores and 96 threads. The transistor counts reflect the chasm between them: the EPYC 9474F contains 52,560 million transistors across 8x 72 mm² chiplets, while the Intel part's transistor count is not recorded in the database.

Cache hierarchies diverge sharply. The Intel i7-1360P has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The AMD EPYC 9474F uses 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, but a massive 256 MB of shared L3. That 256 MB L3 is more than 14 times larger than the Intel chip's L3, a difference that matters in server workloads with large working sets. Memory support also separates them: the i7-1360P supports DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel configuration without ECC, while the EPYC 9474F supports only DDR5 across twelve channels, with ECC enabled, and a recorded memory bandwidth of 460.8 GB/s. The Intel part offers PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes; the EPYC 9474F offers PCIe Gen 5 with 128 lanes.

The Intel chip includes Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, while the EPYC 9474F has no integrated graphics. Market positioning confirms the intent: the i7-1360P is a mobile part on Intel BGA 1744 with a 28 W TDP, while the EPYC 9474F is a server/workstation processor on AMD Socket SP5 with a 360 W TDP. The launch dates differ by about two months, with the Intel part released on January 3, 2023, and the AMD part on November 9, 2022.

The Verdict

The recorded data leaves no ambiguity. The AMD EPYC 9474F is the superior processor in every benchmark category measured. Its multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 86,790 is roughly 7.7 times higher than the Intel Core i7-1360P's 11,266.5. Even in single-core tests, traditionally an area where mobile parts can shine, the EPYC 9474F leads by 85.1% in Cinebench R23 single-core (12,252 vs 1,829) and by 79.1% in Cinebench R15 single-core (1,234 vs 258). The Intel chip cannot claim a single victory in the head-to-head results.

Who should pick the Intel Core i7-1360P? The data supports its use in mobile environments where power constraints matter: it carries a 28 W TDP versus the EPYC 9474F's 360 W, and it includes integrated graphics. It is a capable laptop-class processor, as its percentile rank of 76 across all CPUs indicates. Who should pick the AMD EPYC 9474F? Anyone running multi-threaded server workloads, large-scale virtualization, or data-heavy compute tasks where the 48 cores, 96 threads, 256 MB L3 cache, twelve-channel DDR5 memory, and 460.8 GB/s memory bandwidth translate directly into throughput. The EPYC 9474F's percentile rank of 77 across all CPUs is marginally higher, but its raw scores dwarf those of the Intel part in every test.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The six recorded comparisons all favor the AMD EPYC 9474F. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the EPYC scores 8,748 against 1,858 for the i7-1360P, a delta of -78.8%. The single-core R15 result shows 1,234 versus 258, a delta of -79.1%. Cinebench R20 amplifies the gap: multi-core sees 36,451 versus 6,530 (-82.1%), and single-core sees 5,145 versus 921 (-82.1%). Cinebench R23 multi-core delivers the largest raw difference: 86,790 versus 11,266.5, a delta of -87%. The single-core R23 result is 12,252 versus 1,829, a delta of -85.1%.

The pattern is consistent across every generation of Cinebench. The EPYC 9474F's advantage grows as the workload becomes more parallel, which aligns with its core count and memory subsystem. The Intel part's best relative performance is in R15 single-core, where it is still behind by nearly four-fifths. There is no workload in the database where the i7-1360P pulls ahead, even marginally.
