EPYC 7252 Server Processor

The AMD EPYC 7252 is an 8-core, 16-thread server CPU built for the SP3 socket. It runs at a 3.1 GHz base clock with a 3.2 GHz max turbo frequency and includes 64MB of L3 cache. The processor supports eight-channel DDR4-3200 memory and provides 128 lanes of PCIe 4.0 connectivity within a 120W thermal envelope.

Suited For Dense Compute Nodes

This processor fits single-socket or dual-socket servers that need high core density and memory bandwidth without exceeding a 120W power budget. It is less suitable for workloads that demand higher core counts per socket or maximum single-thread frequency. Builders targeting lower platform cost or consumer desktop form factors should evaluate other product lines.

128 Lanes Of PCIe 4.0

The 128 PCI Express 4.0 lanes are the key specification for I/O-heavy deployments. They allow direct attachment of many high-speed storage controllers, network adapters, or accelerator cards without relying on a chipset switch. If your chassis and backplane cannot route this lane count, the extra bandwidth cannot be used.

Questions about this item

Will the 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes on the EPYC 7252 work with older PCIe 3.0 expansion cards I already own?

Yes, the PCIe 4.0 interface is backward compatible, so your existing PCIe 3.0 cards will function normally at their rated speeds.

How can I confirm the 8-channel DDR4 3200 memory controller is active after installation?

Enter the BIOS or use a tool like dmidecode to verify all eight channels show DDR4-3200 MT/s and the total installed capacity matches your DIMM population.

Does the 100-000000080 box include a heatsink or thermal paste for the 120W TDP?

The processor is sold as a tray unit without a cooler or thermal compound; you must purchase an SP3-compatible heatsink and paste separately.
