Processor comparisons 11-01-2022
Perhaps you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a choice by looking at the Intel Core i7-12700K vs AMD EPYC 7543P tests and see which is better for games or normal use for rendering, video editing, machine learning, programming, streaming. Here you can find all information from real streaming and video editing tests or many benchmarks. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.
From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in special testing software like Gears 5, Furmark, MATLAB, Dolphin Emulator, Blender, 3DMark, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), RealBench, SuperPi, WPrime, AIDA64, Geekbench 5.2, Handbrake, PassMark, UserBenchmark, 7zip, VeraCrypt, PCMark 10, Prime95, Blender.

Summary benchmark resultsAs a percentage of the maximum value based on a sample from the entire base of all processors
Processor Benchmark
| Core i7-12700K | 74% |
EPYC 7543P | 83% |
This shows the performance of the processors in single-threaded and multi-threaded mode. In this comparison, EPYC 7543P is 10% better than Core i7-12700K. The data source is several popular tests. More detailed information of the benchmarks is below.
Gaming performance
Summary result of all game benchmarks.| Core i7-12700K | 64% |
EPYC 7543P | 77% |
The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor at the moment. And it is clear that this is a server processor, on which no one will run games. Because the cost of this processor reaches several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a little game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.
List of less popular games in which processors were compared: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Hitman 3, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Horizon Zero Dawn, Control, Half-Life: Alyx, Monster Hunter World, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Metro Exodus, Forza Horizon 4, Battlefield V, DOTA 2A, Ghostrunner, NBA 2K20, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, League of Legends (LOL).
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite | 114.4 | 135.9 | | Valorant | 130.0 | 154.5 | | Cyberpunk 2077 | 72.8 | 86.5 | | Apex Legends | 122.2 | 145.2 | | Call of Duty Warzone | 97.5 | 115.9 | | Overwatch | 105.3 | 125.1 | | Red Dead Redemption 2 | 89.7 | 106.6 | | DOOM Eternal | 65.0 | 77.2 | | Warzone | 101.4 | 120.5 | | Assassin's Creed | 109.2 | 129.8 | | Valheim | 107.9 | 128.2 |
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 video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: FullHD, 2K or 4K. Therefore, the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you get acquainted with the benchmarks that are made with the same video card that is installed in your computer.
Power consumption
| Core i7-12700K | 56% |
EPYC 7543P | 19% |
To make a finishing 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 Core i7-12700K is more energy efficient than the EPYC 7543P since it has less power consumption: 125W vs. 225W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you must know its TDP. 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 benchmarksIf you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for streaming, machine learning, video editing or video rendering, programming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to achieve maximum efficiency, the CPU turns on all cores and threads that it has. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to make sure that the software that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the benefit of multi-core mode turns out to be unnecessary.

Comparison of specifications
In the specification comparison table, the processor release date and overclocking capability will be the most useful. The newer the processor, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system later. The same can be said about overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will continue to maintain maximum FPS in new games. Accordingly, there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The savings are obvious!

Another difference is that EPYC 7543P has 20 more core than Core i7-12700K. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).
Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i7-12700K is better: 14
The number of parameters for which AMD EPYC 7543P is better: 21
However, it should be realized that all the figures in the text above do not mean that you should be guided entirely by them and trust a simple quantitative comparison. Better to watch the testing video and read the reviews of of people who bought Intel Core i7-12700K and AMD EPYC 7543P before deciding which CPU to buy for gaming and which not.
