AMD EPYC 7F72 100-000000141 24-core 3.2 GHz server processor

24-core EPYC 7F72 for dense compute

The AMD EPYC 7F72 is a 24-core server processor built for workloads that demand high single-thread frequency and many parallel threads. It targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and HPC clusters where core density and memory bandwidth matter. The 3.2 GHz base clock and 3.7 GHz max turbo give strong per-core speed. Buyers who need more than 24 cores or lower power draw should look elsewhere.

SP3 socket, 240 W TDP, no cooler included

The chip fits the SP3 land-grid socket and requires a motherboard with 8-channel DDR4-3200 support and 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes. A 240 W thermal design power means robust server-grade cooling is mandatory; no heatsink or fan ships in the box. Eight memory channels and 192 MB of L3 cache reduce latency for memory-bound tasks. Systems without adequate VRM cooling or SP3 mounting will not support this part.

192 MB L3 cache decides fit for latency-sensitive

The 192 MB shared L3 cache is the single figure that determines whether this processor suits your workload. Large in-memory databases, real-time analytics and tightly coupled MPI jobs benefit directly from the cache capacity. Workloads that fit in smaller caches or that are purely throughput-bound gain less from this specific amount. Match the cache size to your working set before purchasing.
