I'm thinking of upgrading my dual E5-2696 v3 cpu's to something that will be significantly faster when used with chess engines such as Stockfish.
Could someone with experience suggest the most significant and efficient upgrade for chess?
Things to consider:
-will be used in a house so electricity usage should be lower but can be higher if speed increase is significant
-cpu cost
On a slightly other note. Can someone explain this to me?

When you look at the chart the dual 8180 is almost as fast but when comparing these same two dual cpu's on cpubenchmark.net the difference is huge (about 18,000 points)
PassMark - [Dual CPU] AMD EPYC 7742 - Price performance comparison
PassMark - [Dual CPU] Intel Xeon Platinum 8180 @ 2.50GHz - Price performance comparison
If I was to guess selling my dual e5-2696 v3 and buying a dual xeon 8180 makes more sense than buying a dual epyc 7742 considering the huge cost difference.
