8-core EPYC 72F3 for single-socket servers
The AMD EPYC 72F3 is an 8-core, 16-thread server processor built on the Milan architecture using a 7 nm process. It operates at a base frequency of 3.7 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.1 GHz. The chip fits the SP3 socket and has a thermal design power of 180 W. A cooling device is not included.
Suits density-focused workloads.
This processor suits deployments that prioritise high per-core frequency and large L3 cache within a modest core count. It supports 8-channel DDR4 3200 memory and 128 lanes of PCI Express 4.0 for extensive I/O. Buyers who need higher core density per socket or lower power envelopes should evaluate other SKUs in the same generation.
256 MB L3 cache and 8 memory channels for large
The 256 MB L3 cache provides a high hit rate for latency-sensitive applications and virtualisation workloads. Eight memory channels deliver substantial bandwidth for in-memory databases and compute tasks. The 180 W TDP and 8-core limit mean the chip reaches its compute ceiling before fully saturating the platform's 128 PCIe lanes in heavily accelerated configurations.
