Overview
SummaryThe AMD EPYC 7232P is a server processor with 8 cores and 16 threads. It launched in Aug 2019. Clocks run from 3.1 GHz base to 3.2 GHz boost. A 32-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.6 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. The chip drops into the SP3 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (128 lanes). Rated TDP is 120 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD EPYC 7232P scores 1,782 in single-core performance and 17,712 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 5,618 for overall performance, 14,008 for productivity performance, 12,949 for creator performance, 18,155 for engineering performance and 9,774 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,214 per core, 1,107 per thread and 148 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 513. Its performance index is 70, so its overall performance is 30% 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 7232P scores 50,765 in integer math, 29,979 in floating-point math, 235,870 in compression, 15,139 in cryptography, 1,243 in physics simulation, 15,408 in vector SIMD, 85 in the prime sieve and 26,092 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 14% below in integer math, 35% below in floating-point math, 3% above in compression, 32% above in cryptography, 14% above in physics simulation, 1% below in vector SIMD, 27% above in the prime sieve and 15% 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.
