48-Core EPYC 7552 for dense server workloads

The AMD EPYC 7552 delivers 48 cores and 96 threads in a Socket SP3 package. Its 2.2 GHz base frequency and 3.3 GHz max turbo suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes and high-throughput compute clusters. Eight DDR4-3200 channels and 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes provide the memory bandwidth and I/O capacity those workloads demand.

Sustained 200 W operation with 192 MB L3

At the rated 200 W TDP the processor maintains its 2.2 GHz base clock across all 48 cores without throttling. The 192 MB L3 cache and 24 MB L2 cache keep working sets close to the execution units, reducing latency during long-running jobs. Turbo to 3.3 GHz is available when thermal headroom allows, but continuous all-core loads will sit at the base frequency.

SP3 installation requires separate cooler

The processor ships without a cooling device, so a compatible SP3 heatsink or liquid block must be sourced separately. Apply thermal paste evenly and torque the mounting hardware to the board vendor's specification to avoid uneven contact. Verify that the system firmware supports the 7002 series before installation; an outdated BIOS will prevent POST. Builders needing integrated graphics or a lower power envelope should select a different SKU.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the EPYC 7552 generate when running at full load all day?

The processor has a thermal design power of 200W, so sustained heavy workloads will produce significant heat that requires a capable server cooler.

What memory must I already have to install this 48-core CPU?

You need DDR4 3200 modules to fill the eight memory channels controlled by the integrated memory controller.

Will the 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes work with my existing PCIe 3.0 expansion cards?

Yes, the PCIe 4.0 interface is backward compatible, so older PCIe 3.0 cards will operate at their native speeds.
