AMD® EPYC™ 7203

The AMD EPYC 7203 is a server processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture. It launched in Sep 2023. Clocks run from 2.8 GHz base to 3.4 GHz boost. A 64-MB L3 cache backs the cores (8.3 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. Rated TDP is 120 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD EPYC 7203 scores 2,150 in single-core performance and 17,717 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,172 for overall performance, 14,526 for productivity performance, 13,614 for creator performance, 18,160 for engineering performance and 10,879 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,215 per core, 1,107 per thread and 148 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 563. Its performance index is 76, so its overall performance is 24% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD EPYC 7203 scores 52,151 in integer math, 30,539 in floating-point math, 209,689 in compression, 12,157 in cryptography, 1,445 in physics simulation, 15,941 in vector SIMD, 147 in the prime sieve and 21,373 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 11% below in integer math, 33% below in floating-point math, 8% below in compression, 6% above in cryptography, 33% above in physics simulation, 3% above in vector SIMD, 119% above in the prime sieve and 6% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD EPYC 7203 has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.80 GHz and boosts up to 3.40 GHz.

The AMD EPYC 7203 is a server processor, belongs to the AMD EPYC family and uses the Zen 3 architecture. It launched in Sep 2023.

The AMD EPYC 7203 has 256 KB of L1 cache, 2 MB of L2 cache and 64 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 66.3 MB of cache, or 8.28 MB per core.

The AMD EPYC 7203 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 2 MB and L3 at 64 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 97% of the cache listed here.

The AMD EPYC 7203 supports DDR4 memory and uses 8 memory channels. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD EPYC 7203 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The AMD EPYC 7203 supports PCI Express 4.0.

The AMD EPYC 7203 has a rated TDP of 120 W.
