AMD EPYC 7373X 16-core 3.05 GHz 768 MB L3 240 W SP3 server processor 100-000000508

16-core EPYC 7373X for memory-heavy servers

The AMD EPYC 7373X is a 16-core, 32-thread server processor built for workloads that demand large L3 cache. It operates at a 3.05 GHz base frequency and reaches a 3.8 GHz maximum turbo frequency. The 768 MB L3 cache is the defining feature, targeting databases and virtualisation hosts that benefit from high hit rates. This Socket SP3 part fits platforms qualified for the EPYC 7003 series.

240 W TDP with DDR4-3200 memory support

The processor carries a 240 W thermal design power, so cooling must handle sustained heavy loads across all 16 cores. Eight memory channels run DDR4 at 3200 MT/s, feeding data to the cores without bottlenecking the large cache. PCI Express 4.0 provides 128 lanes for high-bandwidth storage and networking cards. No integrated graphics are present, leaving all power budget for compute.

768 MB L3 cache decides fit for cache-sensitive code

The 768 MB L3 cache is the single specification that determines whether this CPU matches the workload. Applications with large working sets — in-memory databases, dense virtualisation, or heavy simulation — see reduced latency and higher throughput. Buyers whose software fits in smaller caches will not utilise the extra capacity and should evaluate lower-cache alternatives.
