General info

The base and maximum clock speed of the CPU AMD Epyc 7F72, number of processing cores and threads.

CPU Cores and Base Frequency

The general performance of a CPU can easily be determined based on the number of its cores and the thread count, as well as the base frequency and Turbo frequency. The more GHz and cores a CPU has, the better. Please note that high technical specs require using a powerful cooling system and a quality chipset (check VRM on the motherboard).

Frequency:	3.20 GHz	CPU Cores:	24
Turbo (1 Core):	3.70 GHz	Hyperthreading:	Yes
Overclocking:	No	Turbo (24 Cores):	3.50 GHz

Internal Graphics

Some manufacturers complement their CPUs with graphic chips, such a solution being especially popular in laptops. The higher the clock frequency of a GPU is and the bigger its memory, the better.

GPU (Turbo):	No turbo		Max. Memory:	--

Hardware codec support

Here we deal with specs that are used by some CPU manufacturers. These numbers are mainly technical and can be neglected for the purpose of the comparison analysis.

h264:		No
JPEG:		No
h265 8bit:		No
h265 10bit:		No
VP8:		No
VP9:		No
VC-1:		No
