Overview
SummaryThe AMD EPYC 7203P 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 (8.6 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. Rated TDP is 120 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD EPYC 7203P scores 2,537 in single-core performance and 22,017 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,474 for overall performance, 17,863 for productivity performance, 16,676 for creator performance, 22,567 for engineering performance and 13,115 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,752 per core, 1,376 per thread and 184 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 682. Its performance index is 93, so its overall performance is 7% 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.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores 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 7203P scores 67,083 in integer math, 37,049 in floating-point math, 254,215 in compression, 17,434 in cryptography, 2,077 in physics simulation, 14,466 in vector SIMD, 145 in the prime sieve and 33,873 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 14% above in integer math, 19% below in floating-point math, 11% above in compression, 52% above in cryptography, 91% above in physics simulation, 7% below in vector SIMD, 116% above in the prime sieve and 50% above 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.
