AMD EPYC 73F3 16-core server processor

The AMD EPYC 73F3 is a 16-core, 32-thread server CPU built on 7 nm process technology for the SP3 socket. It operates at a 3.5 GHz base frequency and can boost to 4.0 GHz with 256 MB of L3 cache. The processor supports eight-channel DDR4-3200 memory and provides 128 lanes of PCI Express 4.0 connectivity within a 240 W thermal design power envelope.

Suited for frequency-sensitive workloads

This processor targets applications that benefit from high per-core clock speeds rather than maximum core density, such as certain database, HPC and single-threaded enterprise tasks. Buyers needing higher core counts for heavily parallel throughput or lower power envelopes for dense deployments should evaluate other SKUs in the same generation.

256 MB L3 cache and 4.0 GHz max turbo

The combination of 256 MB L3 cache and a 4.0 GHz maximum boost frequency defines the performance envelope for latency-sensitive code. Confirm that your SP3 motherboard and cooling solution are rated for 240 W TDP before integration.

Questions about this item

Will the 240 W thermal design power limit performance during sustained all-core workloads?

The processor has a 240 W TDP; sustained all-core operation will be constrained by this power envelope unless the platform allows higher limits.

How loud or hot does the CPU run under continuous load without a bundled cooler?

No cooling device is included; thermal and acoustic results depend entirely on the SP3 heatsink or liquid loop you install.

Which DDR4 memory speed and channel count must the motherboard support to use this processor?

The integrated controller runs DDR4 at 3200 MT/s across eight channels, so the board must provide eight populated DIMM slots at that speed.
