Processor Benchmark
| EPYC 7473X | 67% |
EPYC 7262 | 56% |
This shows the performance of the processors in single-threaded and multi-threaded mode. In this comparison, EPYC 7473X is 16% better than EPYC 7262. The data source is several popular tests. Detailed information can be found below.
Gaming performance
Summary result of all game benchmarks.| EPYC 7473X | 74% |
EPYC 7262 | 57% |
The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor currently available. And it is clear that this is a server processor, on which no one will run games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a low game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.
List of other games in which processors were compared: Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Horizon Zero Dawn, Hitman 3, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Microsoft Flight Simulator, NBA 2K20, Half-Life: Alyx, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Monster Hunter World, League of Legends (LOL), Control, DOTA 2A, Metro Exodus, Battlefield V, Forza Horizon 4, Ghostrunner.
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite | 130.7 | 101.4 | | Valorant | 148.5 | 115.2 | | Cyberpunk 2077 | 83.2 | 64.5 | | Apex Legends | 139.6 | 108.3 | | Call of Duty Warzone | 111.4 | 86.4 | | Overwatch | 120.3 | 93.3 | | Red Dead Redemption 2 | 102.5 | 79.5 | | DOOM Eternal | 74.3 | 57.6 | | Warzone | 115.8 | 89.9 | | Assassin's Creed | 124.8 | 96.8 | | Valheim | 123.3 | 95.6 |
The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers participating in the comparing not only were the equipped with different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 4K, 2K or FullHD. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. To be sure exactly how much performance the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.
Power consumption
| EPYC 7473X | 20% |
EPYC 7262 | 22% |
To make a final decision on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. It is clear that the newer the generation, the better the performance of the processor in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the EPYC 7262 is more energy efficient than the EPYC 7473X as it consumes less power: 240W vs. 155W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. And TDP should be taken into account when choosing a processor cooling system. You need to buy a cooler that has the TDP data specified in the specification was greater than the TDP of the compared processor.
Software benchmarksLet's say you want to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for programming, machine learning, streaming, video rendering or video editing, then first of all you need to pay attention to the performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to achieve maximum efficiency, the processor includes all cores and threads that it has. You will find out this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to find out whether the program that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the benefit of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications
In the specification comparison table, the most useful will be the the possibility of overclocking it and release date of the processor. The later the processor is released, the longer it will last in your computer. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same can be said about overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in new games. Accordingly, you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The savings are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here EPYC 7262 is 12% better than EPYC 7473X in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that EPYC 7473X has 16 more core than EPYC 7262. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).
Result:
The number of parameters for which AMD EPYC 7473X is better: 26
The number of parameters for which AMD EPYC 7262 is better: 6
Although it should be understood that the summary data that you have looked at here do not mean that you should be guided entirely by them and trust a simple comparison of these figures. Be sure to watch the video tests and read the opinion of real owners of AMD EPYC 7473X and AMD EPYC 7262 before making a choice which of the CPUs to buy for gaming.
