How do the benchmark scores compare?
AMD EPYC 7513 has a PassMark single-core score of 2,536, compared with 3,347 for Intel Xeon Gold 5420+. Intel Xeon Gold 5420+ has the higher score in this benchmark.
AMD EPYC 7513 has a PassMark multicore score of 58,964, compared with 57,753 for Intel Xeon Gold 5420+. AMD EPYC 7513 has the higher score in this benchmark.
Single-core scores describe one thread; multicore scores describe aggregate CPU throughput. These results do not establish which CPU is faster in every application. Compare platform support and total upgrade cost before buying.
AMD EPYC 7513 lists SP3; Intel Xeon Gold 5420+ lists FCLGA4677. Check the motherboard manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements. If the required platform changes, include motherboard, memory and cooling costs; the CPU price alone is not the full upgrade cost.

The retrieval date records when Find Me a CPU collected the source data. It is not a benchmark test date. Prices are USD estimates from the source, converted for other currencies, rather than live retailer offers. Release / first seen means the CPU first appeared on PassMark charts, not necessarily its launch date.
Benchmark scores do not predict frame rates in a particular game. Typical TDP is a specification, not measured electricity use. A matching socket does not confirm motherboard support; check the manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements.
